I'd love to hear more about the nuts-and-bolts (ie, getting to cash flow), but these are helpful. - Aside from the comment on this specific post, I wanted to let you know that I just listed Black Star Rising in my list of <a href="http://dslrblog.com/best-photography-business-blogs/" rel="nofollow">Best Photography Business Blogs</a>. Let your colleagues know, and all of you keep up the great work! Erick Andy, thanks for the very genuine thoughts on starting a photography business.

Even in the UK you have some valid points.
