New small business advice link
The newest addition to the resources page is a link to Bytestart.co.uk, which is a site offering articles about many different aspects of running a business. Could spend a lot of time there reading up on stuff.
Frustrated by Business Link
Just got the update of events through from Business Link (this is an email that I get about once a month). As usual I’ve had a scan through for events happening near us and as usual there’s nothing. We’re based in the far west of Cornwall but the nearest actual event looks like it’s in Exeter – bit of a trek and probably not worth it from what I’ve experienced of Business Link! Their only acknowledgement that Cornwall exists is to have ‘telephone clinics’ for Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. Not exactly my idea of business support I’m afraid.
Another email straight to the ‘deleted’ folder.
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.
