Meet the founder

In her home office [Enterprise Nation, the home business website] Emma Jones
Emma Jones is founder and editor of Enterprise Nation, the home business website, and has started two businesses herself from home offices in London, Manchester and rural Shropshire.

Following a career with an international accountancy firm, Emma started her first business at the age of 27 and successfully sold it just 15 months after launch.

Emma launched the home business website in 2006. The site has attracted national press headlines and monthly readership of more than 40,000 people.

Emma’s columns have been syndicated to business start-up websites and customer magazines including for Orange, Viking Direct and Brother. She is regularly called upon by the Government to speak on the subject of home business and she advises Regional Development Agencies on how to encourage and support homeworking.

Emma's first book 'Spare Room Start Up - how to start a business from home' was published by Harriman House in May 2008 and promoted as Waterstones business book of the month.

Meet Emma in person on her book signing tour of the UK.
