Anyway, whilst networking the other day I was told about this service http://www.mmucfe.co.uk/
It's a service to help young entrepreneurs start up. The lady I was talking to about it had been a part of the course/ scolarship where they help you learn about business, what you'll need etc and also provide funding at the end. I will certainly be looking into it when I'm ready to make that leap.
In the interim, why not check it out yourself if you're an entrprising entrepreneur!
Networking is a great way to get tips and advice from people who've done what you're trying to do. You dont have to give away all your trade secrets but I find it's just nice to talk to someone who knows about what you're trying to achieve - as they've done it or are doing it themselves.
They will tell you about places to go for help and funding, can recommend suppliers or even become your supplier! Once those relationships are made it might be that you can help each other in the future. Dont think that just because they're in a similar field that they are competition.
Networking can be as simple as joining an online forum or joining a business link near you. They regularly hold networking events. Or it could just be a day out introducing yourself to local businesses in your trading area.
There's an interesting article about networking here:
