Hi
i am considering importing a Ford Transit luton van with tail lift, before i do this i am looking for feedback to see if there is a need for such a service. Van can be available on a self drive basis or with a driver, furniture moving, collections from docks, deliveries to docks , etc. Any feedback, ideas, much appreciated, many thanks in advance.

Hi unless you have a company foreigners cannot have a commercial vehicle in their name (unless you know someone who can fix it for you of course) you also cannot work unless you have a work permit from an employer or a company.

And of course setting up a company out here is prohibitively expensive. And you have do it in conjunction with a TC who will end up owning a larger part of the company. (I think!!)

I think you can set up a company without a TC but it cannot own property.
