Hi Colin,

Business skills are vital. Check out any free courses with your local authority. HMRC also run free workshops.

As was pointed out to me, there are three arms to a business, the admin, the ops, and sales and marketing. It you are not doing the latter, the other two dont happen.

You may have the best mousetrap in the world but if you cannot sell to those who have mice, you dont get the business.

Check out the competition, do you have anything unique to offer.

Work out whether you want to be a sole trader, limited company, VAT registered, dont forget data protection registered, personal indemnity insurance.

All the very best.
