Should you start up your own business?

Every one of us has a winning business idea in us, but it takes a big leap of faith to make that move to turn that winning idea into a viable startup business.

Although thousands of businesses start up in the UK every year, data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that more than half of all businesses (57.6%) don’t make it past the five-year mark – a good innings, but that’s a lot of work to eventually wind things up.

And while there’s loads of advice out there on why and how you should go all in for your own startup, there’s not much out there that offers up reasons why you shouldn’t.

But we’ve found some. First though, let’s take a look at how many businesses start up each year.

How to stay motivated through the autumn months

It’s September 1st and it feels like autumn is already upon us.

If you’re still working from home and the novelty wore off ages ago, the coming of the darker and colder days might be filling you with dread.

Is it worth taking a pay cut to work from home?

Last week we asked should work from home staff take a pay cut on the back of calls from government ministers to cut the wages of work from home civil servants, and Google’s decision to hand out pay cuts to US staff who opt to work from home full time.

How to conference call Ireland

Ireland’s linguistic and cultural ties can make it feel something of a home-from-home when doing business there, it’s very much it’s own nation, and a long-established trading partner with the UK – not only is the emerald isle the UK’s fifth largest export market, the UK accounts for almost a third (30%) of imports into Ireland, that’s more than any other country.

Flights to Ireland are both cheap and frequent, and so trading there is something of a no-brainer for British businesses. Even so, you could still save a lot of time and money by doing business via conference call on you landline or mobile, rather than in person.

Here’s how to set up a conference call between the UK and Ireland…
