Here's what one of our members recently said: "I'm glad that I found your site on the internet. I have been considering buying a small hotel for many years. Your website has made me think about things more seriously and I will be starting my search for a new business before the end of the year. I'm abit daunted, but think it's just something I have got to do. I have appreciated the advice sheets you provide - they emphasise the negatives as well as the positives of working for yourself in this line of work." Mrs. Thomas - W. Sussex
