Day #1 - Business Starts Now

Day #1 - Business Starts Now

SmallBusiness2dotzero is officially open for business!!! I've been dreaming about today for the last 15 years. And as I "officially" open the doors to the world, I know I am on the edge of something huge.

Getting here hasn't been easy. But luckily, the business plans have all been approved by the banks and partners. Employees #1 and #2 are on board. (That's me & Mrs. Me.)

Surprisingly we look as though we've been running the business for years. The "IT department" set up our Vostro systems today with a budget that's next to nothing. Two slick notebooks. A printer. No trialware - just the software I know we need. And due to the foresight of the CFO (you know who), we're on a 12 month payment holiday - which is great 'cos it gives us the chance to break even before we pay anything.

Dell say they believe in small business. And I have to say I believe them!!!

Hang on - customer #1 has just walked in. Excuse me while I go out and serve them.
Tomorrow I'll tell whether we are actually officially ahead in this business.
