  • Depends where in the country you are

    Hi, have you contacted the Business Gateway?
    They gave us £1000, helped with business plan and business bank account and to this day still are helpful if we have a problem. They help with vat, tax, courses, legal advice, premises - you name it and all for free. Oh and they run lots of free courses from web design to marketing etc.
    (I sound like I work for them but honest I dont - just cant praise them enough for all the help I got)
