Just read your question, lee8040 - business link is a good start. They offer a lot of advice and free start-up courses. I did a few useful courses with them, also got myself a mentor who I meet every so often and, as I'm approaching my business' 1st anniversary, there will be another follow-up meeting.
Good luckHe who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

Business link are very good and when you're ready I'd get a few free consultations with local accountants (yellow pages or google them). They usually give you good advice upon starting so you keep the tax office happy. And of course the one you like you can use in future when you're up and running.0

What sort of business had you got in mind? Before doing anything else try to determine if the proposed business is viable.
If you don't think it will jeopardise your business post your ideas on here. Chances are someone will have done/be doing something similar and will be able to tell you the pitfalls you are likely to face.0 -
I don't know where you are but you could try your local chamber of commerce they are usually very good.
