Where can you find advice about starting up your own business?

Staring up your own business can not only be an exciting time, but for many it is also very daunting. There may be a few legal sides of the business that you need to get your head around along with marketing the business and cash flow / tax issues. So where can you find advice and help on these matters? There is a lot of free information on the internet especially on the .gov website that will help you through the early stages. There are also some charities and youth schemes that may be able to offer you free business mentoring for a certain amount of time if you qualify for the help.

Take as much free help as you can, as these people have normally set up successful businesses themselves and their advice can be really useful. It may be that there is even a start up loan or grant that you can apply for so make sure you do your research before you start trading from your business.
