Business startup consultant required!

[NickD]

Hello all,

I have been looking for some time at business opportunities and have rejected so many ideas, until I came across one recently which looks promising.

I do however need some help to get this up and running and am looking for a business consultant with a sales and marketing background to help with looking at the business model itself, the potential market, and ways to approach the market.

If I look on the web for "business consultants", all I can find are very large and very expensive organisations. Surely there is someone who is qualified and able to provide this service to small startups? I am not looking for someone who "has done a bit and will have a go" but someone who is known to have acheived success in this field in the past.

I am based in the East Mids area of the UK.

Over to you. Anyone out there?

If it is marketing help you are looking for, I suggest you search for marketing consultants - the start-up is largely academic

If you are looking for support on wider start-up issues ten people like me can help feel free to PM.

I would be happy to cast an eye over the idea as a marketing and business development consultant, and give you an opinion. Ill certainly be able to point you in the right direction for assistance, even if I dont actually deal with your business type myself.

I could really do with some help myself actually but all these companies are too expensive for a start-up teenager like myself.

Good luck though, OP.

You might find a business incubator helpful, I certainly have.

The very fact that they worked with business link should be enough to get alarm bells ringing.
