Setting up your business on a small budget

The great news is setting up your copywriting business doesn’t have to be expensive.  Costs can be kept to a minimum meaning more profit for you.

Working from home is much more cost effective than renting an office.  Client and supplier meetings can be held at their premises.

Ask your local Business Link office if a grant would be available to help you set up your business. Government funding is often available for small businesses.

Don’t print thousands of expensive glossy brochures in the beginning. A professional website and business card and a few printed flyers will be all you need to start. As your business expands you can spend more on marketing material. You don’t need to use expensive designers, but on the other hand leaflets produced on a pc can look amateur. Small local printers are a good way to get professionally produced marketing material at reasonable prices. They may also advertise your services for free.
