Is it something you could start up in your spare time and see if you can build it into a viable business or would it require too much time/expertise/money from the go?

That's how PH started It's the lowest risk means of trying out your idea (initially anyway!).

Agreed Ted, what he didn't tell you was is that it's a web-site for car enthusiasts called "head pistons"

Well they were right about that, judging by some of the comments in the P&P.

Try your local business link for information. It may not be exactly what you are looking for but they will be able to tell you what grants are available and business basics.

Spot on: back bedrooms, garden sheds and garages are the birthplace of many great businesses without the trappings of a 'real' business, which in my experience suggests people have thw rong end of the stick: business first, image and self esteem second. worry less about the business cards, ciompany car and the quality of the office furntiure and more about giving great service on a good product.
