Sorry if this is considered off-topic guys.
I've been working part-time, combined with a day job, for the last couple of years.
Just lately, the biz has got to the stage where I can't afford the time for the day job, so I've had to go full time, and start up a one-man company (I took it Limited so I can get cheaper liabilities insurance :p)
But the problem is that at the current size, I'm going to really struggle to survive, even though everyone says I've got a good chance.
So if any of you guys have any contacts, potential sales queries etc., that you can pass my way without harming yourselves, I'd really appreciate it. It won't take much to reach the 'safe point'.
We can supply most hardware, cabling, software etc, do in-house systems audits/analysis and training, but our core biz is the costing of publicly-funded criminal cases on a bureau basis for solicitors and lawyers.
So if any of you are friendly with a solicitor, perhaps you could mention us :p
Thanks in advance

Strictly speaking it is, and you probably should find other forums to post it to as well as this one.

Really? There seemed to be little difference in the insurances to me and there are quite a few extra costs in a Ltd.

Hrm, not sure that I can help much, as I'm not that friendly with any solicitors out here. Which meeting will you next be at, so I can get a good picture of who I could promote this to? Mostly, I'm doing some troubleshooting, some training in GNU/Linux and web accessibility work, but we have some irons in the fire supporting the Koha library software, so I guess we're doing complementary things.
