Show Notes
This week’s episode has everything you need to know about starting your own business and Paul Reid is at the ready with a pen and paper for all the notes!! The lads cover everything from the importance of a good solicitor to whether you need to work as a sole trader or set up a limited company and the tax scenario and impact for both. Paul M shares why you shouldn’t get caught up in the name, logo and other small but exciting details too early, the power of social media, importance of showing support to pals in new start-up and why wanting to be your own boss is NEVER a reason to leave a job and start out on your own. Paul Merriman tells the story of starting his own business, how he did it and how he took none of his own advice!
