    Hi all.

    I am thinking of starting boatbuilding business as a contractor or sole trader in New Zealand.
    It would much appreciated if anyone can give me a bit of advice to set up?.

    Thank you

    Hi there.
    Thanks for your replay.
    I dont think i make any boat. More like service and maintenance as a contractor.

    You still need to indicate what size and style of boats you plan to work on.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I don't want to limit myself until I see or investigate it since I have experience of building and servicing from 7m to 40m composite and wooden boat and yacht.
