Getting started
To get your ideas off the ground, you need to research your market, assess your competitors and start preparing a business plan. Getting advice and information on the different aspects of running a business is vital to your success. This can be daunting. To make it easier for you, we have put together a list of organisations and companies who can provide all the necessary support. Most of this is free of charge but in some cases a small fee is payable.
‘I’ve never regretted the process of planning. You plan, you try and the trying gives you feedback. Then you plan again, you try and you get feedback. That's it.’
