Had a meeting with an adviser this morning to go over my plans and to find out more information. It was a really positive meeting, we covered all sorts of subjects and I now have a better idea of what is urgent and what can wait. Something that needs to be worked out first is a business plan and cash flow projections. This is pretty difficult for me at the moment, I've been working on pricing systems and calculating chargeable items but until I've perfected my own site and started to actively promote myself it's impossible to say. My initial target audience is individuals and small businesses. These will be pretty cheap options, some template based some custom made. As this is the case each client could be paying anything between £50 - £5000 depending on how much content they want to be original and how many technologies they want.

I can produce basic designed and coded sites for some people this will be enough for others I'm gonna have to use freelancers.

Going to have a meeting with Briget next to discuss what the college has to offer but at the moment things are looking good. The adviser even said there is a possibility I could be added to their database and they could refer new businesses to me! Another bonus is that they may also be able to arrange a meeting with a solicitor to sort out contracts and T&C's.

This is pretty much what we covered:
My Business - Progress & Future
Contracts, copyright & legalities
Business Plan
Funding
Cash flow & forecasts
Business Address & Insurance
Training
Tax & Accounts
Networking
