Four useful folders

Start where you are.

Most small-business jobs fit one of these four folders. Open the one that sounds closest; you can always move sideways.

StartTurn an idea into a real business. Websites, business addresses and the first supplier choices. RunMake the working week easier. Broadband, mobiles, payroll and tools that earn their keep. ProtectProtect the business from costs it would struggle to absorb. Insurance, security, ownership and sensible checks. GrowFind the next customer without the runaround. Websites, search, freelancers and marketing you can measure.

Worth knowing Business broadband: compare speed, support and repair times before you switch

Made for small teams

For the business you actually have.

You may be doing the sales, admin and tea round yourself. Or there may be two or three of you swapping jobs as the day changes. Advice written for a large company is not much use when the next decision comes out of your own pocket.

We focus on the practical middle ground: what is worth paying for, what you can sensibly do yourself and which question to ask before you sign.
