Setup My First Company
It’s official. I am in business.
I formed my company with companies house on the 5th February 2010. I received my certificate of incorporation the next day on the Saturday. I’d love to scan and present a copy of the document right here, but I don’t want to give away too many of my personal details away quite yet.
I am now officially a company Director and Shareholder of two companies. (I setup a company for some friends, a company I have a minority share in, but I am also a Director in). It’s pretty exciting. I can’t wait to see where I will be a year from now.
Having made this company has made everything a lot more “real” for me. It’s exciting but pretty scary at the same time. It’s time to grip the bull by the horns, take some action, a few small risks and start making dreams reality. I have had such a busy week this week, flying all over the country to meetings. Some of them resulting in more work and more clients, with some of the meetings seeming to be a complete waste of my time, money, effort and petrol! I am not seeing any staggering profits yet, and I am still working very hard, but I know I can give more and feel like I am on a bit of tipping point.
I am mindful that I wanted to maintain this blog to help people whilst simultaneously sharing my “journey”. With that in mind, I will post a summary of my business plan to give people a better idea of what I am doing (although I have touched on it a little in previous posts). Anyway, take care and speak soon.

Well done mate.
I registered as a sole trader and hired an accountant last week so I sort of know how you feel about it all becoming ‘real’
Gotta say though, I’m absolutely loving being my own boss, no 2 hour commute, no set start or finish times and no annoying fire alarm test klaxons in MY office
Keep us posted

Awesome to hear eddy.
Holy smokes though, you hired an accountant?! You must be making silly money to have an accountant! Talk about a high-roller. I don’t want to even talk to an accountant for the next year, well maybe not for another 10 or 11 months.
Good to see you drop by here now and then. Appreciate you leaving the comment!

Sounds good I know but I only hired her to get set up with things really and to get some good advice.
Silly money? well not really, not yet anyway but nudging ever closer to that 3k a month I always talked about so I’m happy at the moment
