Posted By Mork I have no experience of running my own business but there's lots of info' on the Business Link website at: http://www.businesslink....58805&topicId=1073858805

Posted By Bob Youel I have had a company since the early 1970's and I am currently a director of 3. Marketing and sales is the answer. Try to go into a company on the grounds of Reg 7 MHSW as against using your own insurances as insurance can be very expensive. Get a good accountant and try to get as much cash as possible, especially re expenses. Get a sensible rate - its easier to drop down to win a piece of work than trying to justify a rise in prices. Many advisers work for rates far below what they should be charging especially in trainng/teaching areas. Get small low risk jobs first, with a paid monthly invoice as a max. "Trust everybody - as clients never take people for granted etc and always pay their bills on time."!!! Best of luck

Posted By Robert Paterson Hi Steve If you have done training before I would suggest you contact Abertay Training Ltd who are looking for trainers to present courses around the UK. www.abertaytraining.co.uk. That might give you an idea of what is involved. Contact any companies around your area and offer your services. Sometimes a flyer with your details and of the services you provide might spark an interest. Lond hard slog ahead of you and good luck. Regards Robert Paterson
