Running your own small business can be quite isolating and I work on my own – it’s good to be part of something and have opportunities to join networking and training events, or use some of the online support and forums.
HR/People
People are your secret weapon. They do the job day-in day-out so they know your customers very well.
There are three big steps in business as far as people are concerned:
- Moving from a one-woman business (you) to taking on your first member of staff.
- Building and growing your small management team and getting to a really sustainable company set for growth.

We'll try and help you every step of the way, as far as you want to go.
