Start Up Hub

Starting a new recruitment business? At an early stage of your development?

With thousands of new recruitment businesses launched in the UK every year we want to help you stand out and create a brand that will thrive.

 

We have developed an amazing start-up toolkit with resources to help support your early days. 

 

This has been generously supported by our sponsors giant finance+Access Group and New Millennia Payroll. The toolkit provides you with a range of resources from experts in various fields, and previous start-up members that have been there and done it already - they share their top tips to help you avoid some of the pain points.

 

Some of the questions this will help you answer include:

  • How do I write a business plan?

  • Which insurance do I need?

  • What technology should I invest in?

  • How can I finance my business?

  • How will I market my business?

  • What legislation do I need to be aware of?

  • And many more
