There can be some pretty high set-up costs involved in vehicle breaking, looked into it myself last year. There's also a lot of govt bs to deal with to get your licenses - waste disposal, etc. Should be fine if you've got the capital behind you and don't mind attending some daft seminars where they tell you not to sell antifreeze to children, burn left-over batteries or use the bare backs of immigrants to move scrap vehicles around.
I actually found the govt site quite helpful: https://www.gov.uk/browse/business. At the very least it gives you an idea of what's needed to be legal.
