Forget about the money part for a while; look at problems to solve and things you can build as learning exercises to try and get your skills up to scratch. Look at a todo app - boring I know but you'll learn a lot. I've built a fe

I've used MailChimp a lot and it's good Campaign Monitor is awesome from a templating standpoint. Sendy is by far the cheapest and is self hosted (I haven't used this so can't say whether it's any good or not)

Get legal advice now! As long as you are looking into GDPR and how it affects your business you can evolve it over time rather than completely change everything by the 25th.

As someone who lives in the UK not even I would move to London; it is the economic hub of the UK but with that comes huge rent and high competition to find office space. Look at other cities like Cambridge, Manchester, Norwich; all of which

Anything to do with company formation to protect yourself from arbitration you should talk to legal counsel. Other considerations would be GDPR if doing anything within the EU.
