At the end of the day, apply, if they say no, then nothing lost!

That's good advice. I will apply, then.

I joined BizSpark a few years back and I'm a one-man-shop and they didn't have a problem with it!

Thank you.

I attempted to get in but was totally unprepared and rightly rejected, you are doing the right thing getting as much preparation as possible. Make it easy for them to approve you, have all your info ready before starting.

Oh you know, the usual thing a normal business requires. A business plan, a details product definition, a development plan or at least an architectural statement etc. I had none of these as I was only looking at it as a vehicle to get some free/low priced software. At least they were not rude about it

I was a member until it ran out  ... but I do work through a limited company.

Does anyone know if they require you to be a certain type of company? There are many different forms available. The simplest would be a trade license, but I don't know if that's even considered a company in the legal sense.

I was a member until it expired sometime ago. I did not need a business
plan or financial statement, all I had to do was send them a link
to my website where I was selling some windows apps.
It was great - I got Visual Studio 2010 ultimate, windows 7 ultimate etc
plus lots of other stuff like an msdn subscription.

I'm a Bizpark member and yes, my company is a one man show, as far as I remember I was able to subscribe all by myself, they recommend you to subscribe through a Bizpark Partner but it's not a must. I believe that mostly, it have to do with what you plan to do, for example, I subscribed when Windows 8 was hot-new, and I focused on Windows 8 development so they approved me quickly and hassle free.

Yes, me, and I'm a "one man show." You can see my BizSpark logo at the bottom of my site: www.awardwinnersonly.com
IIRC, you have to submit somebody as a sort of "sponsor," someone who will vouch for you as being worthy of becoming "BizSparkerized."

Which begs the question . . . why are all these people still hanging around?
I guess there's no such wall in the town.

Nice the way they have congregated together, leaving a lot of the beautiful land untouched by the ugliness of man. Hope they do not litter.

You should visit the Nanjing Road, in Shanghai.
Every day it is crowder with literally millions of people, so many that the (very wide) pedestrian walkways are one-way -- if you want to go to a shop on the other side of the road, you have to walk past it, cross the road, and walk back.
Go there at midnight, when most of the shops have closed, and you would not believe anyone had been there at all; the place is spotless.
Three Londoners drop more litter then five million Shanghaiese. I actually try to talk Chinese people out of visiting London, because I know that their dreams of a beautiful city will be dashed by the ankle-deep cr@p. Better to keep the dreams

I was just walking to work in Universal City, and was noticing all the trash that was on the sidewalk and thinking of how humans just seem to be making with world ugly (I am in a bad mood, I am sorry).

That's the thing about China: if something is worth doing, you don't get a couple of hundred people having a go, you get a million.

Oooo! You fell for that old one? Oh dear, we really ought to put a warning on that...just to let people know that when they next log in, their rep has been reset to zero...
