Small business start-up need not cost the earth and you can approach it from a number of directions. A recent press article covered some good material for those thinking of starting a small business. Quoting three cases of successful small business starts, it gave information on the background of the new business owners.

One of the factors I found interesting was that in each instance the entrepreneur was female. No I am not being sexist I am saying how good it is that these ladies have seen and seized the opportunity.

I believe that almost anyone with a skill can succeed in business if there is a market for his or her product or service.

These ladies have certainly done that and they gave good practical money saving advice on how to start a small business.

These real life examples illustrate a number of important pointers for anyone thinking of starting a small business.

* You can use your skills to provide a business service.

* With basic skills and additional experience you are ideally placed to create a viable service business.

* If you want to start a small business it does not have to be a service business you can market your product online.

Two of the business are service businesses, using the skills and experience of the small business owners. The third business is marketing product online. These fascinating businesses are described in detail at http://www.be-your-own-business-expert.com/Business_Services.html
