For someone who is starting in business for the first time, there are many sources of information to choose from. If you want to shop around yourself, the information is also availabe in many formats - books, magazines, CD-Roms, audio cassettes, videos, websites, training courses - and from many sources - banks, solicitors, accountants, business support organisations, government departments.

The information available from all of these sources can be general in nature or quite specific in terms of types of start-up business or people who want to start.
