Synopsis

The author of the From Crew to Captain series, David Mellor, shares lists from 10 key areas of business start-up:

'The purpose of this little book is to help people understand the work they will need to do in order to set up their own business. I have made this journey myself, and helped many other people do the same over almost 20 years.

I have selected 10 key areas of business start-up, and given you 10 areas to consider if you are going to move forward with confidence and "eyes wide open."

I hope that the lists will help to inform your reflection, planning and resultant activity.'
