If I started a company now.
I'd start a high quality manufacturing one, something which makes high value items with a specific market. Probably for the energy industry or something.

Or the space industry, that'll be awesome.

...A hell of a lot more than what's on offer.

I'm not talking solar panels or solid fuel boosters
they need plastic tubing and wiring, seats etc etc, but they'll need to be engineered in a very specific way to be reliable, that makes them expensive and profitable.

You'd need a fair few bob more than what's on offer I'm afraid.

Not necessarily, and I'm assuming it's start up cash
not a total budget, with that money I can get prototypes out there do market reasearch and get other investment. And I'd plan on it being very scaleable, small workforce doing small but expensive parts.

this is a good plan
and people will pay for that shit.

It's the "manufacturing base"
that the govenment are all loving at the moment so I'd expect some serious tax benefits within 2 years.

even without it's still a good move
selling to people who will pay well for a fast turnaround and a high quality product is the way to go

Oh cool, that sounds good.
What's the product?

Dunno, I haven't decided.
Or I should say it wouldn't be the product as such. It would be the raw material.
So say we're working with Carbon fiber, we'd get the machinery and people needed to work with that and then people who need something made in carbon fiber to a very high quality will come to us and we'll make a run of them. Doesn't matter what it is just that they need something precision engineered and are willing to pay for it.
