James Alford and Theo Cook sit down with Darren Sharp, who is taking his first steps into the car sales industry. After closing his previous service-based business and taking time off for his newborn, Darren is now ready to build something new with a £50K budget. He shares his real-time challenges, from choosing the right premises—balancing visibility, cost, and practicality—to deciding how to allocate funds for stock, marketing, and cash flow.

Darren’s journey is a must-listen for anyone starting out in the motor trade, as he looks for the best approach to launch and grow his business with guidance from James and Theo. If you're in the same boat, this episode is packed with actionable advice!
