My Own Small Business Comprehensive Editions
(Last updated 24th June 2008)

All My Own Small Business Comprehensive Editions will be available from July 2008.  
 

These incredible, value-for-money packages give you the key, often difficult to obtain, knowledge, tuition, supporting materials and guidance you need to start your own independent business at least cost.  Our unique, comprehensive DVD tutorials show you many of the tricks of the trade and give an overview of how to run your business.  The accompanying Business Operating Manuals give you an excellent insight into the business.  Even with add-on, professional, classroom training, My Own Small Business products represent outstanding value-for-money!

If you require additional face-to-face training on any of these products, helping you set up even quicker and with complete confidence, you'll be delighted to know that you can spend time learning and setting up your new business with our in-house specialists at attractive rates.  We're friendly and our classes are enjoyable, fun and innovative.  What more could you ask for?!

WHAT YOU GET

The growing family of My Own Small Business Comprehensive Editions all include a tuition DVD and Business Operating Manual.  The DVD case has a booklet inside that includes a unique keycode giving access to our secure on-line Resource Centre of documents, artwork, templates, suppliers and more.  Terms and conditions of use, including the returns policy, are printed on the back of the DVD case so that they can be read prior to breaking the outer wrapper and security seals.  

The tuition DVD shows how to do the job, including tricks of the trade, equipment, marketing, financial, health and safety and other business tips.  They are easy-to-understand and include captions as well as some narration.
The books are written in an easy-to-read style and include diagrams and photos.  The section headings are:

    • Understanding the services
    • What you will need to set up
    • Operating costs
    • Planning for profits
    • Business formation and employment
    • Winning business and keeping it
    • Doing the job itself
    • HMRC and accountancy
    • Your home office
    • The pre-flight checklist

The on-line Resource Centre follows the same format as the books, with documents, artwork, templates and suppliers listed under their appropriate section headings. 

Add-on training and set-up services, supporting all of the titles, is also available, all hosted by the My Own Small Business team.  If you haven't seen our introductory video, please return to the homepage and give it a watch.  It's just a few minutes long.  Details of each specific Comprehensive Edition Pack are listed below.

KEEPING YOUR SPENDING TO A MINIMUM
All our business models have been carefully constructed to keep your spending to a minimum.  All the recommended equipment, tools and materials you will need to run your independent business are listed in the Operating Manual, as are other costs you must consider, such as a vehicle, insurance policies, accountants and tax.  We also keep your costs down by providing free documents, templates and basic artwork in the Resource Centre.  For those of you wanting bespoke branding, design, websites or print work produced, we can help too at low rates.  Other suppliers include Lloyds TSB, a nationwide accountant and insurers, all listed in the Resource Centre.
