Start Up

[el duder]

Or you can get a job, get a wife, sit at the end of the month juggling bills, have dinner parties with Sainsburies Chardonnay talking about mortgages, credit card deals and school waiting lists. If you lucky one of your mates may have a hot,bored wife who takes a shine to you which may momentarily brighten up your life with a tiny bit of intrigue and exitement

... my family already want me to 'stop messing about' and buy a house, settle down, get a proper job, get married and have kids.

I had that grief from my late mum and dad; but they were saying it before I went to university!

Starting a company - dead easy. Keeping it going - bloody hard work. It's a case of 'Are you awake - then you are/should be working. Are you asleep - wake up you slacker'

Depends

Big bold step, the worst that can happen is that you can lose everything and have to start again..... , which would mean bedsit in London, a few nights sitting alone in your bedsit necking cheap lager and contemplating your next move, trying again and maybe making it. Risk and reward.

I am not sure if that's so true. For example apparently in Holland you can't start Ltd unless you like put 20k euros into shareholder's capital, at least here you don't have such restrictions, only for PLCs.

it is extremely easy to start a new business in the uk.

u can register a business in one day with a share capital of 1 GBP.

Anyone on here had any experience of starting a new (non) IT business in their early 30's?

any advice?

Just get a haircut and get a job FFS. Bloody young people of today. I was working at age 14 and never had the luxury of dreaming.

[AtW]

Yeah ! dont do it in the UK. Too much red tape
