Starting your own business

[I'm With Stupid]

Does anyone know any good advice websites on starting your own business? Things like information on loans, government grants etc. Plus what sort of thing the bank/loan company would expect when presenting them with a business plan etc and all of the other things you need to take care of.

Well obviously the English don't have a country to sponge off to start up their own businesses ;) but I guess it should have plenty of stuff that'll be similar. Cheers for the link, I'll take a look.
