One in four SME owners took longer than a year to feel confident in running their own business, while The Telegraph claims that 50 per cent of startups fail within five years.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Starting your own business, whether that’s as a limited company, a sole trader, or even if you’re funding a franchise, is a realistic career plan that can lead you to success.

Our free how to start a business in 20 days ebook is the definitive guide to getting your business up and running.

Compiling all the activities on this page with further guidance from fellow business owners and industry experts, you can use the beginner’s guide checklists on this page to keep track of your day-by-day progress.
