    Say things weren't going to well for you but you were in a position where you might have say healthy seed capital to open a business & the opportunity to do this anywhere you wanted. What would you do? I'm thinking of the likes of say a mountainbike touring company in nepal or similar.

    Just looking for other's ideas to help spur on my creative juices & formulate some plans.

    A few posh log cabins in the hills near decent trail centres/natural trails with a bit of private land with your own well maintained northshore & DJs.

    Provide some guiding & maybe skills (if you good enough) courses.

    Link up with a local activity group to offer a wiider range of services for things like stag dos….

    tis what I'd do.

    I also liked the idea of frame building but that seems more of a hobby than a profitable enterprise.

    I'd go for basic but functional etc and increase the numbers coming through the door. Maybe a camping barn as well.

    Log cabin/chalet somewhere in the alps (or pick any location with 'proper' seasons/mountains) would be favourite with me. Bikes in the summer and snow in the winter = income for most of the year.

    Would be nice. Stayed at a chalet in Chamonix last year, and it cost the owner 3 million Euros! Charging £2.5k a week, he'll be just about covering his mortgage I reckon.

    New 'office' ?

    My folks have a little log cabin in the back garden and it's ace. I could quite happily live in it 😮

    I gather there's big business in bearings.

    A woodward type facility with added uplifts somewhere warm like southern Portugal/Spain.

    Another 'what DT78 and sofatester said'. Sounds like you'd like to be abroad? Guess you'll need to get your research and exploring hat on … lots of travel/ guiding operations our there so you'd want to find your niche..
