Back in September 2011 I wrote about post titled ‘How Much Money Do I Need to Start My Own Business?’ and at the time it didn’t get many clicks. I was a little surprised at that as so many people are thinking about turning their hobby into a business to help them earn a 2nd income. Over the last week the hits on this blog posting have been double the next most viewed post, and that includes everything I have written this week. Maybe people have decided to start 2012 as they mean to go on and are going to take the big step into self-employment.

The article is more geared towards people wanting to start self-employment as a sole-trader, but if you are looking at starting a limited company some of the points in the posting are still valid.
