Hi,
I've been toying with this idea for a while now, so I thought I'd turn to the forum for some advice. My ultimate ambition in life is to train as a
medical doctor, but i've often thought about running a small chemical supply outfit from home on the side, supplying lab chemicals and consumables to
hobbyists. It'd obviously be an evenings and weekends affair , purchasing in bulk from the big companies that avoid the public , splitting and selling
on.
It'd all be above board, with a VAT registered company and all the licenses and inspections that the Government may require. However, I was wondering
what the law's view on running such a business from home would be, say in an outbuilding or garage. This is assuming that the chemical storage is up
to scratch, with adequate cabinets and security etc.
Has anyone had any experience in this area, or does anyone in the UK have any thoughts?
Thanks for reading.

I think that this would be a great idea, and would consider buying from your company if it were running properly. Its difficult to find UK sources for
some weird reagents and odd bits of equipment and glassware( although I believe that United Nuclear do now ship here).
