Extracts, from ‘BBC News' website 14th February 2012:
Former college business lecturer James Brennan had fallen out of love with his profession and was facing redundancy in July. A self-confessed "average Joe", he had a mortgage to pay, a family to support and credit card bills to service. Three months later he was running his own DIY car and bike servicing garage, stemming from his life-long love of motorsports.
"I'm breaking even but I'm not paying myself a wage yet. Luckily I have a very supportive family around me and hopefully this will take off."
Specialist business insurer Hiscox suggests that 17% of small businesses in 2011 were set up following one or more of their owners being made redundant.
