on you finding that it's not worth it supplying spares. The money is in:

1 Importing tyres - closed market
2 Running people - if you've a good reputation

And that's about it unless you happen to be the TonyKart importer or JAG. General spares dealer online or otherwise forget it.

You'll need to turn over Ł240K plus per year, nearly Ł5000 per week to make lance corporal level 8 lower spine pay (Ł23,382 - you said you were in the army) assuming sensible overhead levels. To achieve that level of turnover/profitability you'll have to import direct from the factories in Italy and the far east - if they'll supply you. With the turnover mentioned above and factory/transport lead times you'll need 3 months worth of stock - Ł60,000. If you buy from UK wholesalers you'll not make a living unless you (in your customes eyes) overcharge them.

If you think I'm wrong then go ahead. With a bit of luck or a very good business model you'll just waste you time, not your hard earned money.
