Default Useful link for new starters, esp in UK
Hi all

I hope this is the right place for this link. This is Business Link, an English government-led free website, which has excellent features for helping you plan, advice on what you need/should be doing to get started, etc., etc. It's very user friendly.

http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/home

This is actually for England and Wales as Scotland has slightly different laws but I think it's got some pretty useful information for anyone that's just starting out in any business anywhere in the world!

Apologies if this is in the wrong place... And if it's been mentioned before!

Thanks for sharing!
How are you getting on with your business, Cath? I am London based VA, started around August time, but no luck finding a first client yet.. Only done some work for other VA.

Hello Daiva
How are you getting on now. Hopefully you will have found some clients by now. My first VA business was in London and it attracted lots of interest almost immediately. We had a number of clients signing ujp within weeks. That was some time ago, mind you. How are you marketing your business? I'm now based in Kent, still very close to London and know an awful lot of companies / people in central London to whom I will be spreading the word (as soon as I'm ready to go!!)

Julie
