This site is maintained by ACT to provide information, tips, advice and sign-posting links for anyone considering or entering into Self-employment. Specifically, within “What’s Available” can be found details of the Self-employment help from Jobcentre Plus that we are delivering for them to Devon, Dorset, Somerset and South Wiltshire in 2008.

Regularly updated with training developments as well as related business-start topics we hope that the website content, whilst designed for existing and potential Clients and collaborators, will be useful and stimulating for any visitor!

Additionally, the website contains debate, argument and comment which reflect local, regional and national lobbying which ACT conducts on self-employment training issues. From over 30 years of continuous involvement with Government and other Agency programmes and schemes to help people start their own businesses, along with other enterprise-related initiatives, we feel well-qualified to comment upon policies, strategies and trends which impact upon that work and the quality of services which are provided.

There may be disagreement with specific views and examples – but hopefully not with an objective of seeking continuous improvement!

Self Employment Savvy Tips

The only activity you do which brings money in– everything else you do is a real or notional cost!
Do not confuse advertising and marketing with actually asking for an order or making a sale.
This can be painful and feel like very personal rejection at times – but it is where you income comes from.
Discipline yourself, and manage your time to make the effort.
If you don’t ask, you probably don’t get!
