Brian at DM Finance here. Sandy has been offered paid partnerships from reputable Finance Brokerages across the UK. Yet he’s decided to stick with me and was not even aware of him doing any features of DM Finance on this video. This is the type of person Sandy is…friends before money. No paid partnerships here….or not that I’m aware of yet! 😂

Hi sandy it's mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍 I'm just letting you know that i appreciate everything that you are doing with your own truck business and trailers. Sell that trailer and get the trailer that you really want as long as the work is there for the newer trailer and that will help to pay the finance off. I would probably go for the monthly payments of £300 a month if that's what you are thinking of doing that could be the better option really, and have a good cash flow instead. And your KZbin videos are very real life KZbin videos and that is very much appreciated from me mark 👍👍 and I've not long subscribed to your KZbin channel from about 4 or 5 days ago and i appreciate everything that you are doing for yourself and your truck business, and all of your subscribers are all here for you. Even though I've seen your KZbin videos from way back and i really really enjoyed watching them, but I'm new to your KZbin channel now and I've subscribed to your KZbin channel 4 or 5 days ago and you have got yourself a new member to your KZbin subscription channel now me mark 👍. And your KZbin videos are very very very real life videos and i respect you for that because of you and your truck business. And get that trailer that you want and pay the £300 a month on a longer term and keep the cash flow going. Keep up the great work and keep your KZbin videos coming out aswell 👍 and have a great Christmas and New year in 2024 and all of your friends and KZbin subscribers are here for you aswell 👍👍 thanks from mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍

Hello there sandy. I think you are right. You have to get no with the job and don't hang back. I'm retired now. But I noo what my business was. I ran into difficulty back in 2000 with the foot and mouth eccademic. That fucked my business. I lost everything including my house. I'm still here to tell the tail. Things have worked out okay but I'm not very well off.
@marcobrian1619 Жыл бұрын
Hats off to you chap...... A grafter will never fail....may just have to make afew adjustments along way. Well I was looking for a plant trailer mid last year. Prices were high, I got a 2018 king with winch, and was a self drive Owenr. Last month I saw one same spec go for 9k less.... The arss has dropped the prices on these now. But as I see it, if the work is pending for it and that could lead to more.... Id would go with high deposit..... And like you say....if goes tits up, you have assets. Not big bank loan and nothing to show.
