Vehicle leasing

hi folks,

I'm looking to start up a tour company - beginning with 1 route for now until i get that established and profitable and then tacking on others in due course. Pretty sketchy at the moment as only just turning my mind to getting details on paper now. So my question is, looking at a coach with around 30 seats. Any ideas where I'd start to look?

I assume there's a more cost effective way than having to buy such a bus i.e. there are available leasing options??? any pointers would be greatly appreciated, including finance, costs etc.
thanks.

yes, the business will be tourism based, and I am currently employed (in a job totally unrealted to the tourism sector) so would be giving this up. I hadn't realised there was a tax back possiblity, so thanks for that, will look into this.

Just started looking at the dublin enterprise board site. alot of info there but think I may look to set up an appointment just to bounce the idea of them. although unsure if I can go into them without detailed plans?
