Just what I was looking for .... a roadmap. This course was extremely thorough, As the instructor said, "It's not rocket science. It's all about the process", which he expertly lays out.

I really wish I had took this course before I purchased my LLC'S. It would have went much smoother and less time wasted trying to figure this out on my own. Now I can continue my Company with a Breeze. Thanks so much for this course. Swanetta'

This course was an excellent match for me whilst assessing if starting a small craft business is right for me. Plenty hints and tip and broken down into easy to mentally digest section so as not to be overwhelmed by the topic.

This course was a real pleasure - very clear and focused; a logic, step by step development touching everything that is needed. The course covers every aspect involved in starting and growing a Craft Business. It is good for a beginner or for someone who wants to organize their knowledge, base on what is really useful. All the content was very well selected and formulated to really support us. The host's energy and desire to share and support us was present along the whole course. He continue encouraged is, showing all the aspects and the best direction to go. I loved it!!! Thank you!

There was a lot of information in this course and I loved how it was broken down in easy to handle chunks. I am going to have to review this course again to be able to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Very interesting and lots of useful information; although most information are for people living in the UK. Especially the advice about how to register your business and set up your company is lacking information. There is only a link to a website given, no further explanations.

They have thought of the basics of starting a business and explained simply. It gets you thinking about what one needs to do and inspires you to it.

Interesting insights into business name and also the excuses "we" tell ourselves about not starting something like a business. This part also is very good at dispelling some of the myths connected with starting out in business. This course is top class and definitely worth buying. So much information packed into very good modules/sections. At the start i felt quite miserable as i saw and heard many downsides to what i have been doing but in the end i feel very upbeat and positive about relaunching my handmade candle business

Have been considering starting a craft business for some time and had already read Kev's book and exchanged emails with him. It was very useful to learn from someone who has been there and done it with great success. He helps to allay the fears we all have and shows that it's not as scary to do as you may think. Whether you want to make it into a full time business or just a side hustle, there is plenty here to help. No need to raise loads of money or do a business plan for the bank, it can all be done for very little outlay and his advice could save you a lot of wasted time and money.

Very informative course so far given by someone who's been through the process of starting a craft business themselves. The only slight criticism I have at the moment is that maybe there is a little too much "just talking". Maybe there could be some interactive content?
