Introduction to Enterprise - Session 1

This is the first of three parts of the Introduction to Enterprise workshops on the Outset Start and Grow programme.

About this Event

Are you based in Portsmouth and want to start your own business? Do you have an idea for a new enterprise, it could be a hobby or perhaps you want to go self employed in your current role and be your own boss?

This course will introduce you to all aspects of starting your own business and going self employed. Delivered over Zoom in a group setting, the course is run by our business advisors who will guide you through the content and give you plenty of opportunity to ask them questions throughout the course.

We aim to help increase your confidence, knowledge and motivate you on your business start-up journey.

On Day One we will cover:

• Business Objections- identifying any potential barriers you feel may stand in your way of creating a successful business.

• Market Research- understanding what market research is and why it is useful to develop your business ideas.

• Entrepreneurship- what it means to be an entrepreneur and to run your own business.

• Sustainability- what the different types of sustainability are and understanding how these align with your business.

• Branding- what branding is and why it’s so important to understand the brand you want to create
