Editor’s note
=============
Beware, entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well! A recent
survey by Begbies Traynor revealed that one in five respondents
were contemplating starting up on their own. The majority of
respondents had a business plan in place and had even approached
the bank, family or friends for start-up capital.

These fledgling entrepreneurs are often the high fliers in your
organisation. So what can be done to ensure that people with
drive, ambition and initiative do not flee the nest. Share your
suggestions…

employee benefits. To find out how (and see how many employers
over-estimate the cost of a flex scheme!) read Aon Consulting’s
latest flex research:
