ok i know its been in the pipe line long time but i've had a few distractions recently but now i'm almost on full flow here

for those interested here's what i've learnt so far...

banks are more willing to do business if u have a 50-50 investment whcih i guess is sensible and hsud've thought of that.

other companies that sound help and are apart from the obvious...

lancashire rosebud - fabulous set of people.
blackburn moneyline - again very useful

i went to the hyndburn enterprise ppl and took my business plan which the bank ppl said was very comprehensive and immaculatly detailed - its basically been 6 months in hte makin so u can imagine the detail. i went there. wihtout even readin it in depth a quick scan he decided i shud go on a business plan writing course whihch wasnt the reason i went to see him at all. oh well i'm gonna try them again though but try to get a different person
