Friday, July 16th, 2010
If you are starting a business, getting your finances in order is critical. Here are some tips to help you when you are starting out.
- Get organised. In the first few days and weeks of your business you are likely to have relatively few receipts and invoices. Use these to develop your own system for bookkeeping. Don’t leave them to pile up as it is harder to deal with a backlog! (more…)

E-book launched for new mums who want to start a business
Friday, July 9th, 2010
Helen Lindop has launched an e-book for new mums who want to start their own businesses. The book is called ‘Business Plus Baby: Ten things you need to know if you’re starting a business and have a baby’.

Pregnancy and Career Changes
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010
Has pregnancy made you rethink your career? I was speaking to a journalist from a national baby magazine about this yesterday. She asked me about the numbers of mums who were looking at changing career post baby, and I said that the majority of women who have a serious rethink … even if many decide that going back to work is the only option available due to contracts or financial commitments.

Flexible Business Idea: Jittabugs
Monday, March 8th, 2010
For most new mums, the question of if and when they go back to work is a big one. Many of us don’t have a choice, and it can heart-wrenching to leave our newfound bundles of joy in someone else’s care while we go to a place we would rather not be, working in a job we’d rather not be doing. Caroline Ashworth explains how she overcame this dilemma by setting up her own business so she could take new baby Alfie to work with her. (more…)

Do you need to retrain for a new family-friendly career?
Monday, November 16th, 2009
If you need to retrain there are lots of initiatives to help you. Ask your local Sure Stat Children’s Centre for info on courses with crèches – call into your local college too. Examples of what you can retrain as are: becoming a complementary therapist could allow you to offer appointments that fit in with your family commitments, or take a creative course and start selling what you make at craft fairs at the weekend.

Business Partners Wanted
Saturday, September 12th, 2009
Here’s an ad for business partners from Charlie in London who wants to set up a baby food business. Get in touch with her if you think you’re the person she’s looking for.
EVER FANCIED SETTING UP YOUR OWN BUSINESS?? I HAVE ….
I have a great idea for a business start-up but am looking for one or two partners to come on board to offer their professional expertise in catering and marketing. The area of work is fresh baby foods. It is an idea that involves next to nothing in start up costs but has great potential for growth through development and therefore I am looking for someone who has spare time on their hands (perhaps still on maternity and looking for an alternative to returning to work or with kids starting school??) and the ambition and enthusiasm needed to start a business.
I am the mother of a toddler myself and am committed to setting up a business that is successful but also one with strong principles of fairness and sustainability.
If this appeals to you then why not drop me a line telling me a little bit about yourself and perhaps we could meet for a coffee and a chat?
Look forward to hearing from you … Charlie. charlieaknell@hotmail.com
