Book details

Title: Starting & Running a PAT Testing Business

PAT testing as a business seems to be attractive to many people. Most people have come across it in their working life, it seems fairly easy to do and generates a reasonable income. It also has the added benefits of something that companies have to do (to meet their Health & Safety obligations) and has the possibility of repeat business every year.

While training is available in the technical aspects of the job, there is more to running a successful PAT testing business than attending a course. A successful business needs to take many other things into consideration such as pricing, competition, marketing, customer service and the boring bits such as bookkeeping.

This book provides a useful background to all these other activities which contribute to the success of any business. Most of this is based on the author’s 20 years of running his business as well as many years as a PAT Testing trainer, listening to hundreds and thousands of delegates.

Whilst it is possible to set up a PAT testing business that will generate thousands of pounds a month in income, this will need a lot of investment and employing many engineers to carry out the PAT testing service. This book is aimed more at individuals setting up a PAT testing business at a local level to generate a reasonable level of additional income as a sole trader.
