Originally posted by Jog On View PostI'm building a 'real business' and reinvesting my contracting income into it. Not developing any 'hard goods' though.
At this stage outside investment doesn't make sense but I haven't ruled the idea out for the near future.
I tried to get my program patented and got told 'no software isn't patentable' I tried to get a more clear answer from them but they didn't want to know.

I'm sure some black guy with a great idea will be pleased, as will the disabled man down the road road trying to make a go of it etc.
Have a look at Chart 4.2
Disadvantaged Groups:
Lone Parents
50+
Disabled
No Qualifications
BME
How is being 'BME' a disadvantage? I bet Lakshmi Mittals' kids aren't disadvantaged. Having thick uneducated parents is a disadvantage. Having yellow/brown skin is not.

Is there any way to check how these token sums are actually spent? I bet there's some MP's wife wanting to set up a flower shop in Chelsea who gets it.
