Start Up Smart Up

       

Simple, impartial and practical advice on the most important aspects of setting up and growing a business in the early stages.

‘The UK is a nation of entrepreneurs and innovators, and yet great ideas, driven by passionate people are often not succeeding, in part due to a lack of basic knowledge of what it means to set up and run a business. The IoD has been around for over 100 years supporting UK businesses and we want to give out some key information and advice to help those who are embarking on this journey. The ‘Start up Smart up’ initiative is going to be developing and growing going forward, so watch this space…’
