Starting your own business?

[joanofarchitrave]

Can't see a current thread on this - sorry if there is one.

I retrained recently and am now happily qualified. Not many jobs out there so I am teetering on the brink of setting up for myself. Wondered if we could share any tips?

What sort of business are you in?

Well done for retraining BTW (looking for inspiration here myself, as thinking of retraining too!)

This is a really good website-BusinessLink

Thank you :)
