New Business Start-Up. What are my options?

Hello Bloggers My business partner and I are setting up a guesthouse. Currently the property is a domestic residence, and won't be ready for trading for a few months yet. Once trading, each of the 8 guest rooms will have hard-wired internet access and TV. Also, we will have a public cafeteria, and we'd like to offer WiFi. The business will have it's own web-site, almost certainly take bookings on the web, and hosted externally (not sure whether hosted with BT or not), and for in-hotel business payments, we'll be using credit/debit card machines. So, the my question is whether to go immediately for a small business 'package' - even though we won't be trading for a while yet, or whether to go for a domestic-type package, and move to a business one later. But what are the differences between packages, and indeed what packages are there ? In a nutshell, what are my options please ?

I am new to business start-ups so just my novice reply.

 

The best thing which you can start doing is setting up your website and promoting packages directly on the website. The promotion of your website through search engine optimization might consume some time. So it is best to start promoting your website online.

Hi,

all the best with your new business, I think the very best advice would be to invest in the best possible website you can afford as it really will pay for itself in relation to the business it brings in. On second thoughts the best advice would be to read how badly let down by BT people have been on this and other forums and find other providers.
