Summary

Behnam, his father, and a business associate discuss saving the family building by turning the yard into a used-car sales lot. They talk about buying cars at auction, selling them through Auto Trader, earning around £1,000 per car, and possibly making £4,000-5,000 per month. They also discuss negotiating with the liquidator and the bank over a £1,600 offer, clearing a £2,400 debt to Federal, tidying the yard to hold up to 15 cars, and an alternative plan to use the site as a paid car park with planning permission already started.

Facts

  • An offer of £1,600 has been made for the building or stock.
  • There is a remaining debt of £2,400 to Federal.
  • The yard could hold around 15 cars.
  • A planning application for car park use has already been started.

Tasks

  • Email the liquidator and Roger with the £1,600 offer and request to freeze interest.
  • Tidy and level the yard for car storage or parking.
  • Continue the planning permission application for a car park.

Issues

  • The bank and building are at risk if the rescue plan fails.
  • The father's age may limit financing options.
  • Need to decide between car sales and car park income.
