Andrew,


You might be interested to know that we soft-launched CompanyLeader.com last

week. It's an independent, content-led information resource for UK small

businesses, funded by Xilerate and using the resources of the Express

Newspapers

group.


More specifically:


There's a good anecdotal piece on what to expect when you're starting a

business:

There's also a lot of stuff on writing a business plan:

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.
