One in ten British professionals work 55 or more hours a week and spend up to 460 hours per year commuting to and from work each year. Furthermore, in 2000, a study published in the UK identified British professionals as the most depressed and unhealthy group of managers in the world.

Torquay, UK -- UK workers spend as much as 47 days per year travelling to and from their place of work.
Yearly, the average UK worker spends approximately 460 hours and £630 for in fuel costs commuting to and from work.
Adding up the time spent on unpaid work related activities such as: commuting, time at home on the computer, mobile phone calls interrupting dinner, and of course, the 'urgent' paper-work for that meeting tomorrow - at the end of the day, most people are working for little more than slave wages.
Next, factor in the insecurity of today's employment market. Unless in the elite class of directors and board members, the average employee is expendable when it comes to downsizing or punching-up shareholder profits.
Tired of the insufferable rat race - worrying - if the company is plundering the pension fund - or if the next buy-out will leave you scrambling for another job?
For a self-motivated individual, an established small business in Torquay could be the ideal solution. Rather than wasting your life snared in motorway queues or staying up all night reviewing paper work for tomorrow's meeting, for little more than the cost of a home, you can own a thriving freehold business with accommodation and a substantial yearly income.
For instance, in Torquay, located only minutes from the scenic Devon coastline & beaches, one small, neighbourhood business is on the market. It has a turn-over of £600K per year and realises an annual net profit of £65K including the Post Office salary.
There are thriving small businesses such as the one mentioned which are not dependent on the yearly flux and flow of the tourist trade to generate a tidy income. And one can also enjoy life at the heart of the 'English Riviera' - Torquay.
Torquay has the warmest climate in the UK - similar to the South of France. It has long been a desirable destination for British and foreign tourists alike. Situated in the Torbay region of South Devon, Torquay offers award winning beaches and spectacular coastal scenery.
So, if you're tired of wasting the best part of your life commuting, in endless corporate meetings or concerned about the next transition of management. Why not consider purchasing an established business in Torquay?
