YOUR SUPPORT NETWORK
Friends and family can provide you with lots of support in your business venture. Whether it be looking after the pub while you take a night off, or giving you encouragement when things haven’t gone well, good support can be vital. You may already rely on family or friends now, to help your life go more smoothly. Bear in mind how running a pub might change things. Moving away from your support network means you have to manage things on your own, at least until you have developed new support networks nearby. Alternatively, you may decide that taking a pub close to your support network is a way of maintaining the support, as well as gaining a few extra customers into the bargain!
