Starting a business?

If you have considered starting a new business and need a little extra push in the right direction, here are a few links for you to check out.
The first, is the new Microsoft Startup Centre. It takes you through most aspects that you need to consider when starting up including your sales, finances, marketing, staffing, and branding.
You may also want to check out Business Link (UK Government Funded Body) which will take you through a checklist of topics you need to cover. It also includes a few tools and links to help find what type of tax you need to pay, or what local grant and support schemes are available to help you.
If you are thinking of getting into the IT community, then look no further than our Community which is made up of SBS (Small Business Specialists - not necessarily MS accredited) businesses who will be able to offer you advice and war stories and maybe even a bit of business if the cap fits? You can find out more about the community by clicking on the appropriate group link shown to the right of my site’s homepage.
