Small business owner / Internet Entrepreneur?

Either of the above labels might have a nice ring to it, but if you are ill prepared to commence a new online venture you may be headed for serious dissapointment.

Knowledge and preparation is everything. By spending time at our website you can give your small business venture the best possible chance of success. We are now in our tenth year of trading on the Internet and we have a wealth of information that we plan to share with you in the coming pages. Our success wasn't all plain sailing, so we'll share some of the mistakes we've made to help you avoid the same.

Getting started - Reading through this website in its entirity then wandering off and trying to apply what you've learned is probably not the best approach. So we suggest that you bookmark this page as the menu/access point for information, and return to it frequently.

IMPORTANT -This website is very much a work in progress. We are still running and developing several Internet businesses and still updating this website with what we have learned. The Internet is a dynamic world that changes rapidly, and we/you need to stay abreast of the changes and update your references as changes occur.
