Small Business start up and support, including finances
Whether you already have a small business or are thinking about setting one up, we are excited to offer this opportunity to help you build and improve your business knowledge.
Join Katy Draper from Mind and Body Walking for a workshop that puts you at the centre of your business and your thinking. This day will give you the opportunity to discuss and map out your ideas with the help and support of an experienced professional and give suggestions to help put them into action.
We will begin by focusing on you and your business, look at how to analyse your opportunity and define your idea before looking at the market and exploring ways to market your business. We will look at potential business structures and the support and resources you will need to get going.
The session will be interactive, and there will be plenty of opportunities for questions throughout the day. You will leave some clear actions and a draft business plan to build on.
