Re: New enterprise Incentive scheme
Update time
Finished the business plan last week and got the call today to say it was excepted:)woohoo full steam ahead now.
All up took me about 4 weeks to complete. Now there is a bit of stuff in it that won't be relevant to our businesses but on whole I found it pretty good. Self paced at home is the way to go,I couldn't imagine sitting in a classroom doing it.
cheers

Re: New enterprise Incentive scheme
"not competing directly with existing businesses". That counts out lawnmowing...though there is, at times, an unsatisfied demand in some areas.
