Doing Business Online ? Successfully, seminar, one day event, taking place Tuesday 26th September, at HM President, Victoria Embankment.

Howard Graham, founder of a portfolio of successful online businesses, Business Made Simple, including Companies Made Simple (CMS), has brought together key players in the online arena to show the SME market just how they too can create a successful online presence.

In 2004, Accountant, Howard Graham realised that the company formation market was ripe for a radical change. Historically, largely accountants and lawyers, who sourced them from a number of company formation agents, provided companies. The process was slow, expensive, (companies could cost well over ?250) and old fashioned. Through the CMS website, companiesmadesimple.com, they led the online revolution of company formation, with a very low cost, (prices now start at ?19.99 plus VAT) and companies can be formed in three hours online. As a result, that arm of the business is selling almost 2,000 companies per month and growing exponentially.

The Business Made Simple group of entities provides a range of services geared towards the Business Start Up market. Through his many online businesses, Howard has grown a wealth of knowledge and experience about how to create a successful online presence.

Bottom line: The first major full year of activity resulted in a turnover of approximately half a million, the next year they achieved approximately 1.2 million and the turnover for the next twelve months to April 2007 should be well over ?2 million.

In Spring 2006, Business Made Simple (BMS) surveyed 4000 start up businesses to identify views on creating a successful online presence ? over 400 businesses took part in the survey.

Incredibly, 70% of those surveyed stated that they did not believe their product/service could be sold/marketed online. Other findings; they didn?t know where to start with online marketing, and were cautious about setting up e-commerce processes.

Therefore, on 26th September, key players in the online arena join together to create an event geared to small and medium sized businesses. The objective is to provide practical insights from online experts and founders of successful online businesses ? hard hitting case studies, packed with advice and tips, identifying how to create visibility, measure online activity ? and fundamentally provide attendees with the ?know how? necessary to create a successful online presence.

The balance of speakers brings together both the ?professional? know how ? and importantly, provides the opportunity to hear HOW ?regular? people took their idea, ran with it, providing attendees with key knowledge of the steep learning curve they encountered.
