Since it started Dragons Den has had a huge following with viewers fascinated to watch budding entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a panel of tried and tested business people who offer criticism, advice and sometimes even investment.
One of the original Dragons was Doug Richards who had made his name in the world of technology and regularly supported many of the IT businesses looking for investment. Since then Doug has launched his own website, www.schoolforstartups.co.uk , aimed at providing business training for new entrepreneurs.
Having looked through the site (and especially as we are a business startup!!) we like the site because it has a good mix of solid business advice from how to use free PR sites to help your website SEO, through to startup events that you can attend to get insight from people in the know.
At WhatsGoodOnTheWeb we really like School For Startups. It gives practical information on running a business, allows you to connect with other startup businesses for support or developing business opportunities and also gives clear advice on what and how you should go about starting your own business.
If your looking for clear and practical advice on starting up your own business www.schoolforstartups.co.uk a must read site.
