How do I set up operations

-
Order & purchase stock
Efficient stock control is having the right amount of stock in the right place at the right time.

Arrange insurance
It's essential to arrange insurance when you're starting out in business - you should insure your company, your income and your commercial risk.
-
Set up record keeping & accounting systems
It's a legal requirement for you to keep records of your business transactions for a minimum of five years, so it's important that you have good record keeping practices in place.
