“Oxfordshire Business Enterprises gave me great confidence to proceed.”

- Sarah Payne, North Oxfordshire Windows

Every year thousands of people, fired with the entrepreneurial spirit, decide to take the plunge and start their own small businesses. They're from all backgrounds and ages. Their businesses are based on every conceivable idea from gardening and IT to child minding, consultancy and arts & crafts. The buzz of being your own boss has few equals.

While many of these businesses succeed, sadly some fail within a short time of starting, usually due to a lack of proper preparation and planning. If only they had been able to get some quality help and new business advice.
