    Books for business
    Does anyone know of any good books I could read to understand more about business and how to set one up, finances etc?

    I'm currently a university student, but I don't study business. I'd like to set something up but I don't feel like I know enough about the technical stuff to really do much right now.

    So I figured summer would be the perfect time to look into it.

    I'm in exactly the same boat, though I am in upper sixth, not at uni yet..there's one from the 'for dummies' series which looks ok and this website is pretty useful if you click on businesses, hope this helps https://www.gov.uk/

    Try Duncan Bannatyne's 'Wake up and change your life'. It's full of tips for how to start a business, how to write a business plan, how to do the finances, how to get funding etc.

    Although it's not exactly about setting up a business "how to get rich" by Felix Dennis is a great read! He is one of Britain's most successful entrepreneurs who has made hundreds of millions in the magazine publishing trade.

    His writing is witty, interesting and motivating
