Starting Up
Starting a business, or becoming self-employed, can be risky. It can also be hugely rewarding. Regardless of scale, large or small, it’s worth taking advantage of the advice that’s on offer to ensure your venture is a success.
If you’ve been searching the web for information you’ve probably already found many websites dedicated to the issue of starting a business. This site doesn’t aim to duplicate them. The aim here is to provide you with an introduction to the things you should be considering before starting out on your own and then to link you with organisations and people locally who can help you through the process.
We fully endorse the Government funded Business Link| website - a huge resource with lots of useful tools and videos to help you start.
