Wanting to start own business

LJC89

Hi
I am a student and am currently registered as Self Employed due to doing admin for my father. Due to my irregular timetable and family comittments I find it hard to find work so therefore I'm hoping to set up my own business, possibly selling things online. I'd be grateful for any tips, pointers, ideas or help that anyone can give. I'm unsure where to start and how to start!
Thanks

Make a list... (business plan)
What are you selling
Where will you buy stock,
Where will you keep the stock
How will you finance the stock
How do you deliver the products
online shop, do you have the skills to design the site
do you understand the distance selling regulations?
do you understand the sale of goods act?
do you understand the data protection act?
how will you accept payment?
Search engine optimisation
marketing
do you know who your customer is?

There are the basics... hope it helps

Also ask questions on a business forum as well as MSE..google to find one..they are very useful.

Phoenix cards is very flexible and it's a great time to join in the lead up to Christmas. In my company newsletter I received today, they have said that all traders will soon be getting free webpages for customers to order from.
