For the last lecture we spent the day in Cardiff City centre. As a group we met outside the museum, before dispersing to visit various banks. We were required to find out what kind of support and information was available to us if we so wished to become freelance and set up our own businesses. I, Ian and Kirsty visited three banks in total, Barclays, HSBC and a private investor’s bank, before meeting up with everyone again to discuss our findings. Barclays were the most forthcoming, offering to arrange a meeting with us at a future date and giving us literature to take away.
To obtain any truly fruitful information we would have to attend a meeting like this with one of the various banks Business managers. However, this exercise I think was a good idea. It made me realise that there is help out there if we intend to set up our own businesses.
