Am I? That's got to be an advantage
I'm bound to have a mate who is an accountant somewhere... I think one of my Cuzzies is.

Yes you are. You wrote "not far off the equipment base I'll need" and "no debts".

I've met owners of, and read about, small businesses that have no equipment and are in big debt to start with. Also, you have a solid experience base. With a written business plan and qualified input like others have mentioned you'll be even better positioned.

I don't like/want/need debts, so far anyway. The remaining equiptment I need will be built and put together by meself, probably with a lot of help from rather clever chaps I know

That's a road I really want to avoid
Haven't had time to do the business plan draft tonight yet everything in this thread so far has been a great help, thanks guys! I'd buy you all a beer, but my wallet said no
