So whether you want to be a cut above the rest with your own hairdressing shop, tap into your creativity with an arts and crafts enterprise or sell the best Scottish Tapas from a quirky burger van of your very own – then you have got to get yourself along to this seminar.
This concise workshop will cover the fundamentals you need to know when starting up a new business such as:

- Business name – could be the unique selling point of your venture
- Income tax & NI – very important to get this right
- VAT - … and so is this
- Record Keeping - …ditto this
- Premises – location, location, location to get that footfall or that privacy you require
- Insurance – always best to have a safety net
