Business Idea #6 - New Arrivals Website

I got married in October 2004.

My wife came over to England on Christmas Day 2004.

We found that there were very few places where we could go for advice about basic issues for new arrivals. For example we are still waiting to get a National insurance Number because we have got a lot of conflicting advice from various sources. Some places said that my wife needed to start work in order to get a NI number. So we went for some interviews... when we got an interview we were told that we couldn't have the job without a NI number!!

I feel that we have experience that could be useful for other people coming to the U.K

I propose a website where people who arrive in England can find information about living in the U.K The website will have resources like guides on how to obtain a National Insurance Number, information on english courses, opening a bank account etc...
