I dont have a clue about stationary supplies but you will find it tough with all the big boys around and i just hope you have made the right move about leaving your job without anything else to provide a paycheck at the end of each month.Good luck

ok its not as bad as it sounds, ive not left my job for that.

Ive left because the job im doing pays no more than any standard job i oculd get, but applied 5x the stress of the job, so im leaving to get something else, so i can be alot more stress free while i put an idea together for a site.

i dont want to leave and set up this business, im just wondering if it could be something i could easily do, so say i spent £500 on stationary, using my business contacts could i just sell this on? would it be that simple or do i need trading names and to spend money on other business details etc? i guess, is it something you could do from home??
