How do I start a small business in East of England?

To start a small East of England business you need to have a clear idea of your goals and the needs of the community that you wish to serve. Make a business plan and a budget incorporating this and other information that you have collected to set a clear path and goals for your new enterprise. The budget can also help you see if you lack funding for any one area and if you do, may guide you to a grant or loan from the government that you can use.
