RE: UKNM: Things that are a pain when starting a business

[Severina Publications]

biggest headaches?


1) finding bank to back me when the internet was still a dirty word

2) realising that although all i wanted to do was design and market websites

i also had to be accountant, bookkeeper, office cleaner, pr person, it

person, computer support etc etc

3) people not taking me seriously and therefore not payin

4) filling in small claims forms

5) knowing the procedre for claiming in small claims court

6) writing contract to ensure payment had to be made

7) learngin how to become an employer - and find that fine line between too

strict and too nice


as you can see, mostly things to do with money

Subject: UKNM: Things that are a pain when starting a business



Given the number of folk in this forum who are about to or have already

started their own business,

I'm trying to get some anecdotal evidence about the key things that people

have found to be the biggest headaches in getting going

eg writing a business plan - if you've never done one before, where do you

start? How long does it take? How do you find out about all the forms and

regulations

needed when starting eg Companies House, VAT, etc, etc


Declare my interest - I have client that is soon to launch some inexpensive

online tools to help start ups and small businesses get round many of these

things.
