    I suppose if you are buying all new machines and furniture.

    This is how I am doing it:
    When I bought my house it had a derelict outhouse which I have converted into a studio, this will hold 3 to 4 people (at a squeeze)

    Freecycle has loads of, heaven forbid, free stuff: desks, chairs filing cabinets etc... this has been very useful indeed.

    The only thing I am paying ££££ for is a new Mac.

    Other than that all I need is a business partner, I have yet to decide if that will be another designer or an account handler (probably the latter).

    so I will spend around £2.5k to start out with, and grow outwards from there the only thing I worry about is upping the fees to cover for 2 peoples salary but this will be progressive.

    now where's that business partner gone....?
