Programmes are run regularly throughout the year in local areas:
Stage 1: Info Session
Stage 2: Workshop
During your workshop you'll get to meet like-minded people and have the chance to tap into a business adviser, covering everything from business planning and marketing to sales, budgeting and tax. Workshops vary in length but average between two and four days.
The programme provides you with a mentor to support you as you plan and test your ideas. You'll even have the opportunity to apply for personal loans for business purposes.
Before launch, you'll present your business plan to the Business Launch Group. Their job is to ensure your idea is viable and sustainable. There’s also additional start-up finance support if you need it.
