How to start up a small Craft Business in the UK ?
Contact your local Business Link before you go any further. They give lots of free help and advice on starting in business, including a free seminar on the subject. They’ll help you get to grips with all the things you need to become more business minded. The art world is a very crowded one – we’ve been in it for over 11 years – but you’ve made a good start by setting out your specialism. Artists who try to sell to anyone who wants to buy pictures will always struggle. Those who define their target market and focus on finding ways to reach that market have a better chance of success. Put up your own website with keywords that relate to your target market and you’ll attract more attention than being on generalist art gallery websites. Good luck!
