We’re pretty excited to be hosting our first live webchat today on the subject of “Turning your hobby into a business”. The chat will happen between 1pm & 2pm today (1st September) so feel free to pitch in at www.makeyourmark.org.uk/webchat. (If you missed it, don’t worry – the transcript will stay up afterwards).

“If you dream of turning your hobby into a business then you’re not alone. After all it can give you an opportunity to earn a living doing something you really love. Making it happen though isn’t always easy.
If you do feel destiny calling you but could do with a helping hand, then our live online webchat with special guests Kate Syred and Sarah Lu might just be able to help. Kate is head of Direct Line for Business, specialists in small business insurance, and she has the inside track on which hobbies are most successfully being turned into businesses and the financial protection measures you need in place if you plan to start your own business. Joining her is Sarah Lu, who won backing last year for her home-based ‘youdoodoll’ business when she appeared in the BBC TV series Dragons’ Den. Sarah Lu will be sharing her first hand experience on how to get your business started.”

The webchat comes to the site courtesy of Direct Line for Business and chataboutmoney.co.uk.
