Exporting from UK

[medi99]

Hello
I have started a business specialised in exporting UK sourced good (maybe sourced more widely in future) to Europe other countries.
Currently trading on eBay, but online as well at some point.

Does anyone know if there is any specific information/group/forum out there? Finding information is proving very hard, particularly around accounting in multiple currencies, and ebay related issues when listing/selling exclusively abroad.

What are you exporting?

There are export trade associations in the different sectors. For example there is the British Fashion Exporters Association who offer advice and grants to its members. Details are here: http://www.ukft.org/exportadvice/index.php?mid=4
