Mark emailed me with this question:

‘Where do I get the guidance from to open my own practice?’

This was my reply:

Our tutors offer you a period of mentoring after you complete the course.

Mentoring will help you to work out what is unique about your business and what you offer, will help you identify potential areas of business, and will support you with all the day-to-day issues that arise when opening up a small business.

Remember, many small businesses operate from people’s homes, have very low start up costs and can be profitable without being expensive.
