As our guest editor and former Dragons' Den investor James Caan says, "All the statistics show that Brexit has not had a negative impact on trade, but that's because nothing has happened yet." The only issue he sees right now is "the impact of uncertainty". In our in-depth interview with James on page 38, the experienced entrepreneur reveals that he believes now is as good a time as any to start a business. So what are you waiting for? In this packed issue we cover everything to do with launching a business, from James's advice on finding funding (page 23) to increasing your turnover (page 78) and planning your exit strategy (page 312). We also talk to entrepreneurs who have taken the plunge (page 102) and reveal how consultants can help you to grow your business (page 294). James gives his advice on seeking out the top talent for your team (page 232) and explains how having the right mentor can make all the difference to the success of your business (page 143). Launching a business can be daunting but is also incredibly exciting. We wish you all the best in your new venture! Enjoy the issue, Copyright of editorial contents are held by EMP Publishing Ltd.
