Just some simple advice

I have toyd with the idea of starting my own business many times but have always put it off mainly due to me assuming there aint going to be much help out there in terms of money or help starting up in general.

I honestly wish I had done this in my late twenties when there was help from the princess trust.

So 37 years old options......

    No, there isn't. Businesses are expected to be viable, so start modestly and build up a cash reserve to expand.

    Wrong.

    Take a look at the Start Up Loans scheme on the gov.uk website, through a registered provider, you will be guided through the business plan process, assigned a mentor and can apply for a loan of up to £25k (although most are lower than this)
