I just started with what I had.

Fortunately, my husband had his own business 3 years ago. So I inherited all the equipment to get me going.

I only had to pay to register the business with the local authorities and print my business cards. And I still need to register my domain and pay for the hosting.

So, in my situation, the start up cost is minimal. I worked for a large corporate company and sent my details to all my friends there, and also know a couple of business owners.

I started in June 2008 and I already have 3 retainer customers and 1 PAYG.
