Business banking links
I have been filling out the resources with links to the business sections of the high street banks. I’m not recommending any in particular as I don’t have enough experience of each bank to do so, so this is just unbiased linkage - a good place to start if you want to see what the different banks are offering.
Inland Revenue website
Another addition to the resources page: HM Revenue & Customs. I know, none of us are very keen, but there is a lot of information on the website (if you can actually find the bit you need). The good thing (looking on the positive side) is that you can do a lot of things online these days - I find that much easier than filling out endless forms by hand.
Women in Rural Enterprise
I’ve added a link to Women in Rural Enterprise to the resources page. WiRE is an excellent organisation for women running businesses in rural areas. Regular newsletters, local meetings, annual conferences and a website to promote your business - and all for a very reasonable annual fee.
Starting off the resources
I’ve made a start on the resources page. Just three to get us started:
- Flying Startups - as mentioned in the Start Your Business Week by Week review
- Michael Heppell - for some brilliant inspiration
- Business Link - I’ve heard mixed views on Business Link, but what it’s definitely good for is an excellent online resource covering all aspects of running a business
I’ll be filling this out more over time. If you know of any useful business websites give me a shout and I’ll add them in.
