Start Up Essentials

Have you started the new year excited to take your business idea forward but are feeling overwhelmed about where to start and what’s involved?

Join us for an informal interactive session where GrowBiz Enterprise Facilitators, Jenny Lyall and Ang Laurie will provide you with an insight into what self-employment could look like for you, the things you need to consider and how you can go about getting started right now!

Be inspired by Jenny and Ang, both small business owners themselves. They understand the challenges involved in taking the first steps towards turning your business dreams into reality.

The session will include:

• Friendly guidance on key considerations
• Hearing about existing small business owners and their journey into self-employment
• Gaining confidence in your own existing skillset and understand the support available to develop your business toolkit
• Interactive discussion about your self-employment idea and deciding your next steps

GrowBiz provides ongoing support throughout your self-employment journey. Begin by joining us in this learning session, assured that we’re here to assist at every stage. You’ll leave this session feeling confident, inspired, and equipped with clear direction for your next steps.

GrowBiz strives to host fully inclusive events and will do all that we can to cater for your needs. If you need additional support or have concerns about taking part in this event please get in touch with the team at events@growbiz.co.uk and we'll be happy to help.

This event will take place on Zoom and will not be recorded.

We encourage participants to keep their cameras on as our sessions are generally interactive. We often send attendees to breakout rooms for small group discussions with other participants.
