Start Up Evaluation

Message from Richard Milne, Managing Director:

Starting a new business can be daunting. With so many things to know and consider, it’s easy to become overwhelmed.

To get the ball rolling and to keep the process as simple as possible, I have developed an easy to follow 12-point checklist. With everything from deciding on a business structure to identifying your target market, it’s all there for you to tick off at your own pace.
