Back to Work Enerprise Allowance Scheme

Hi there, I very eager to get onto the BTWEA and recently applied. They then emailed me back with 4 forms, a business plan, cash flow projection, a tax registration form and a standard detail form. According to the email I have to bring these with me to our first meeting, completed. Now this is the first time I have ever filled anything like this out, the business plan and cash flow in particular seem complicated, for me at least. Obviously I want to fill them out in a professional and competent manner.

I had been under the impression that the first meeting would offer guidance to me on how best to fill out these forms.

Has anyone got this far? Did you have to talk to someone and get some help with the forms? If so who? Where did you find them?

Any and all advice would be much appreciated.

have you looked at the start your own business courses run by the local enterprise boards. It should cover most of what you want.

The case officer on the first visit will be able to help you completing the forms. But in view of the fact that your are having difficulty with the business flow etc it may be an idea to do the start your own business course as you will have to keep accounts etc when you start your business unless you want to pay an accountant to do it.
