A mate of mine has £400,000 to invest in a business, what should he go for ?

[hopkins]

I think a childrens nursery must be a cash cow (him and his wife are both teachers).

I once would have thought a pub but obviously not anymore.

Any ideas ?

I'd invest in property instead.

Shares in a mining company producing lots of gold, the gold price is at an all time high!! or they could always buy the physical stuff

Solar energy

Agreed. It's a buyers market at the moment.

Did I mention the wife's looking to sell her late mothers house in Shoreham?

max your cash ISAs - 4 year fixed *2 - £10k - low risk
max your stocks & share ISAs *2 - £10k - medium risk
£250k - 4 bedroom house - fill with students - regular income + capital appreciation - low risk
£100k - nursing home investment - speculative
£30k - spend, gamble and enjoy

Starbucks franchise

An ex of one of my sons was a manager in one of those attached to a Sainsburys and a bad weeks takings was £8000 a normal was about £10k + rather suprising that so much coffee being drunk in just one place.
