According to a recent article in the Telegraph, start-up activity is on the rise. 49% of small businesses reported setting up their business with less than £2000 and one in ten companies started with no funding at all.

My laptop crashed last week which caused me great distress as I work from home and store all the marketing documents for the company locally. Luckily I also back up these documents in the cloud so not only was I able to retrieve these documents from the cloud using a laptop I borrowed, but with Microsoft 365 I could also download the windows software and start working with my saved profile as if I was on my old laptop.
