Are you planning to start your own business? Perhaps you’ve decided the time is right and are about to take the plunge. Or maybe you’re already part-way through the set-up process and aiming to launch your new venture shortly. If so, you’re likely to be feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness right now.

He’ll walk you step by step through the planning process, sharing vital insights gained over more than fifteen years of working with start-ups.
