Barbers

Had to laugh at this story the other day when the bloke had apparently turned his life around by running three legitimate businesses.

Russians buying property in London. But that’s ok as it’s the right money being laundered.

These mobile phone accessories places you see operating in The likes of The bridges. Nee way on earth there trying to make an honest crust.

Just about anything that is cash heavy or is easy to turn cash into an asset and clean it. Eg like property ownership.

Anything where your customers aren't logged .
There seems to be lots of cleaning business popping up.
Sunbed shops
Scrap men
Restaurants and bars owned by a certain type of people
People who do bonus balls on anything aswell as stuff like avon

Don't condone it but also don't blame them, once you get past £50k in a real job you get taxed ridiculous amounts

Car washes have got to be the easiest..No great outlay once you have your premises. If you doing 100 cars a day as long as your not taking the piss you can easily add another number on to that total and unless you have the resources to put surveillance on it can't see how you'd get caught

 

[Nicky Nacky Noo]

Nail bars - all over the place mostly with signs saying cash only

 

[Brett]

Mobile phone shop just past Mowbray, also is a barbers and sells caps

 

[KeefBeer]

There’s a barbershop near me that rarely has anyone in, just a lad playing on his phone.
Bet the till shows 60 customers a day at £15 each !

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Was in an American candy shop on princess st last week. £10 for a bag of Cheetos

 

[The Truth]

Tried to go into a bar in Leeds in the noughties with zero customers in it and the bouncers wouldn't let me and my mate in as there were "too many" of us. Not suspicious at all.

I know how the plan works but struggle to see how any of the businesses quoted can show turnover to match the cash they make in illegal stuff . Handy for anit tax evasion but not washing large figures of cash .
