How to Run a Successful Transcription Business from Home

Worried you are working too hard without adequate reward? Looking to work from home and make a good living?

Setting up a transcription, typing or secretarial service could be the solution you have been looking for. There are transcription companies in the UK with a multi-million pound turnover.

But how do you get going? Where do you start? How do you get business?

Common questions include:

“How do I advertise?”  “How much will it cost to set up a business”, “Should I work on a self-employed basis or set up a limited company?”, “How do I go about tendering for work?”, “What equipment do I need”, “What are the legal requirements for transcription”.
