Hi - I had a quick look to see if this was on here before. I've been a user of Action Pack Solution Provider for a long time. I was toying with paying the extra to get Visual Studio and going for Action Pack Development and Design. Does anybody use this or are there better ways of getting this sw other than paying MS £300 a year?

+1 for this, though when I applied for Bizspark I had to show a website for a product that I was developing. I also had to send a few emails after being initially rejected because my description of the product I was developing wasn't wordy enough. It might have changed though.Originally posted by v8gaz View PostBiz spark for new companies - access to everything. Only open to companies 3 years old or less.

I had to prove that I was already selling a product before I could get the BizSpark subscription.
A fellow contractor here said he managed to blag his was through but having false products on his website to get by.
