Don't want to try and teach you to suck eggs, but have you tied speaking with your local business link.
There is a lot of funding available from Europe for a whole host of things when setting up a new business, might be worht a call.
no worries pal, all advice is absorbed by me for sure, answer is no I haven't yet, I'm taking two weeks to see what response we get in the area and to wind down from my job sort of thing and then I will take your advice, meanwhile I'm going to get to see banks to see what help they are offering. It's really early days and yes they will run away with me and before I know it a year will have passed
. I'm now about to put together a propoer business case formally to take along to any serious business discussions rather than just the ideas in my head.......
so no but I will take your advice forward in the next 2 weeks and thanks pal
