Looking for virtual office space or a registered UK address?

Whether you are a start-up who isn’t just ready to hire out a permanent office space or a company outside the UK wishing to have a registered UK address, I’ve had more and more people contacting me about Virtual office space and wanting a registered office address in NI. I don’t offer this service but there are any many spaces in N.Ireland which do and am listing the ones that I’m aware of below.

What does it take to make the leap to self-employment?

This is the question on the lips of anyone who’s ever thought about leaving the security of a full time job to go it alone. Making the decision is the first step, but how to turn that into a reality and stick at it is not always as clear cut.

Three years ago, I was working as a Personal Assistant (PA) to a senior Director in the headquarters of the European Investment Bank in Luxembourg where I’d gone to work 9yrs previously as a bi-lingual Project Administrator. I’d got to the stage in my career where I could go as far as I wanted in my grade and had already taken a sideways step to get more experience. I knew I wanted to use the skills I already had developed in 14yrs of varied administrative posts: customer –orientated , knowledge sharing, adapting to different personalities , evolving with new technologies and working with a high level of autonomy but I wasn’t quite sure which way to turn as I couldn’t find a role which was demanding and interesting enough.
