The main steps
Write a simple plan covering who your customers are and your costs and prices. Decide whether to trade as a sole trader or limited company, then register your business. Arrange a business bank account, the right insurance, and any premises or licences you need. Speak to an accountant early to set up your bookkeeping and tax correctly.
Get support and customers
Use local business support, go to networking events, and add your business to the directory so local customers can find you.
