This one-day webinar workshop will help you to answer the following questions…

• Is running a business right for me?
• How do I start and what are the legal requirements?
• How do I evaluate my business idea?
• What help can I get with selling, marketing, branding etc…?
• What support is available to me?

The event will start you on the path to running your own business, highlighting everything on offer and enabling you to join up to the rest of the programme. It will also give you a broad insight into how and what is needed to get going with your new venture.

A Be Your Own Boss 2 Day event - a more in-depth session which will help you focus on business planning, finances, marketing, sales and more.

A 2 hour one-to-one session with a Business Adviser
