[rach1983]

Hi,

I hope you can help or at least advise me. I am wanting to start my own photography business but dont quite know where to start. I dont want to give up my full time job until im sure it will work. I would work from home but dont know if i would qualify for financial aid or not??

Sorry no it isnt very clear but im just after general advise to get me started

thanks

Hi Rach1983

My first starting point would be to find out as much about photography as a business as possible. Do all your research before you give up your job. If you register your details under the your account section of the www.shell-livewire.org web site you can receive a business opportunity profile onphotography which will give you information about the market, the start up costs and useful contacts. Additionally you will gain the contact for a shell LiveWIRE adviser who could potentially help you tap into local grants and funding.

I hope that this helps
