Resolved Question
I'm thinking about setting up a t shirt business...Few Questions...?
Right, this idea has been playing on me for a while, i'm a big photoshop user and come up with some great designs, i also have hand drawn images thrown my way to use every so often. My idea is to set up a T shirt printing business but selling my own stock of t shirts and hooded tops (zip up and pullover) and on the side line doing custom orders.
Heat Transfer, Vinyl Printing and Screen Printing...Which one is best, for business?
Also saying buy whole stock i buy a t shirt at £1.00 would selling them for £15.00 each be ok? and buying a hodded top for 3.50 and selling them for £18.00 is that a good price?
I know i will need some capital to buy stock and printing equipment as well as setting up a website. I do have a long term plan which includes a lot of promoting incl' Car shows, fashion shows, word of mouth, leaflets also self advertising ( wearing a t shirt which company contact info ) as well as having my car carrying signs about the company.
My ideal annual turnover is £248.725 with the wholesale costs, promoting costs, web hosting and printing costs deducted.
How come tax would be taking off?
I would be proposing this idea towards a family member who runs multiple businesses and might be interested in this venture.
also more costs that i need to take into account please let me know :)

First there is the cost of the three, with vinyl costing the most to start up. Screen is ok for batch jobs (cranking out 100's of the same shirt) but it the last thing you want for custom design. Finally there is heat transfer, which is the best option for custom designs (but looks and feels the cheapest). If this is a pain, it gets worse.....
In 1990 if you made music or movies, you could make a mint. In 2010 you can only make a fraction of that due to downloading (or other means) of getting it for free. The same problem applies here... Why would I pay a t-shirt company $15 for a shirt/design, when I can just go to their website, copy the image, print it out on transfer paper and make my own for $2? Heat transfer companies will tell you that an iron on will not come close to the results of what you can get from a press (claiming it can not generate the heat or the pressure that a press can). Of course they will say this cuz they want your money. I am here to tell you the truth (as I want nothing) that the difference is so small you will not notice it unless you get down & dirty to look for it. Bottom line is who cares cuz it is a freakin t-shirt that will be thrown away in a year. You can waste your money if you want, but people will pick and choose which laws they break & stealing a design is one law they do not mind breaking since the risk of jail is ZERO.

I can not agree with you asking some one to steal other peoples idea. If you like something you pay for it, the person that own the wright to design have spent sleepless night to get those things and you have come to steal it. it is just like you going to school get your GCSE, and some one copy it..
