The UK is a nation of aspiring entrepreneurs, but nearly half of all employees haven't a clue how to make their dream a reality, according to new research.

Yet, help is only a click away. The interactive Personal Business Profile, offered by Business Link Berkshire and Wiltshire provides a great starting point for all would-be entrepreneurs visiting its website at www.blbw.co.uk.

This online profiling tool allows individuals to rate their level of self-employability, get an insight into the effectiveness of their personal business style, and identify skills and knowledge gaps which can make all the difference between success and failure.

By completing a short questionnaire, every individual will receive a free, tailored assessment specific to their responses, which can be printed directly from the website. Each assessment provides:

an action plan outlining where to get specific support advice and training to take a business idea forward

a summary of the individual's potential business style

how an individual scores against the six dimensions of self-employability

an analysis of the individual's particular skill gap and knowledge

Would-be entrepreneurs can also contact Business Link Berkshire and Wiltshire on 0845 600 41 41 for advice.
