Apparently we have had over 422,000 businesses start up so far in the UK this year which is quite amazing.
It would be interesting to see the stats for how many make it past the first year, and then the second, but at least it appears to show there is plenty of enthusiasm and desire to start a business out there. The more cynical side of me thinks a lot have may have been forced into self employment after redundancy or failure to source full time work. But maybe it will work out for the best for a lot of people, who may have not considered going it alone otherwise?
So if you've started in business this year, regardless of whereabouts you are, the very best of luck!
Make sure you take advantage of any free resources or support networks you can. If not this one, there are plenty more out there!
