Be Your Own Boss helps people gain the necessary knowledge and confidence to start up a business.

It all begins with one of our Enterprise Days, a one-day webinar workshop where you will learn all about the programme and get answers to any questions you may have, such as:

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

What others have said about our Enterprise Days:

"It was nice meeting others in the same position as me. Great facilitation by Ian Mackey who gave a useful introduction to the services provided by Buckinghamshire Business First."

The next Enterprise Day is on Wednesday 7th April 2021. It’s free to attend and is done via Zoom.
