Starting a new business

Starting up a new business for the first time can be an overwhelming and daunting process. Becoming self-employed can be very rewarding but requires research beforehand to ensure that you are fully prepared to build your new business. Vision Derbyshire Business Support scheme and D2N2 have help to get your business started.

Mentors

Businesses who do well often have outside help. If you think you could benefit from talking to someone with a lot of business experience, you can find a business mentor at mentorsme.co.uk

Mentorsme will put you in touch with mentoring organisations across the UK who can help you find the kind of mentor that suits you. Plus there's lots of advice on what to look for in a mentor.

If you would like to be a mentor and share your experience with a less experienced business person, the mentoring portal can help you find an organisation which can help.

HMRC

HMRC can help if you are starting a business or already an established business through video, webinars and online courses direct from HMRC.
