Brimming with business ideas?

Are they creatively strong but lacking a business strategy?

Looking for a way (free of charge!) to put them to the test?

Keen to pick the finest business brains around to take you to market?

Waste no more time and sign up for four days of intensive workshop activities with Hothaus, based on the Creative Enterprise Toolkit, developed by NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts). Spaces are limited to a maximum of 24 participants.

Percy Emmet will be your guide. He has helped over 500 new businesses set up or get over major problems during the last five years and is described as 'the Gok Wan of the creative industries'.

The workshops use creative modelling, planning and design techniques to help you think creatively about the opportunities and possibilities for your products and helps you build a viable and sustainable business model.

Growing a business built on passion alone can be rewarding, but for a business to succeed there may be a need to shift focus from creative practice to strategic business development. Hothaus will provide the tools and expertise needed to help you focus on the business. These will include identifying values, target customers, measures of success, marketing activities and cash flow modelling.

By the end of the 4-day programme, you will leave with the confidence to drive your business idea forward, the tools to make it sustainable; and also the crucial information you require to develop your operational plan, marketing strategy and financial plan.
