Welcome
This workbook has been produced to provide you with useful information and advice on setting up
your own business.
When self-employment is seen as a possible option, the initial questions are often about the ‘How
to’ aspects of becoming your own boss, when they should include a number of ‘Why to’ questions.
The aim of this workbook, therefore, is to provide a balance between the ‘How’ and the ‘Why’ in
order to ensure the new venture gets off to a positive start. There is a wealth of additional
knowledge and expertise available to tap into, from a variety of other sources, much of which is
free of charge. This is just the beginning of the journey.
We suggest you take a few minutes to become familiar with the content of this material, before
working through it systematically in bite sized chunks.
Good Luck!
