Start Up Support Service – Events Schedule

The Start Up Support Service events series complements the work of the Growth Hub’s Start Up Advisor team and operates on a regular basis with sessions every week. Anyone looking to set up their own business or anyone who has operated a start up for less than one year can take part in these free events, delivered on behalf of the Growth Hub by Page Consulting Ltd.

Workshops

Our Start-Up workshops are intensive two-hour sessions where you can learn about the core knowledge and skills needed to successfully run your own business. Four topic areas are covered, and we encourage anyone looking to set up their own business to take part in each of the workshops to gain a good foundation of knowledge to start-up with success.

More detail on each of the four workshop topics is as follows:

Workshop TopicWhat You’ll Learn
1) Business Planning– How to undertake market research to assess the potential of your idea

– How to prepare a business plan with goals and targets

– How to track business growth against goals and targets

– How to keep your business plan up to date
2) Bookkeeping & Finance– How to understand the importance of financial forecasts

– How to create financial forecasts

– Differentiate the types of businesses and how to register

– Get an insight into financial duties and returns
3) Sales & Marketing– How to draw on market research to identify and understand market segmentation

4) Business Regulation & Compliance– Gain an insight into GDPR and cyber security regulations

Please note that each workshop for the same topic will be identical – i.e. there is no need to attend more than each topic once.

Please also note that we have scheduled a number of evening sessions for each workshop topic. We have done this to meet the demand for such sessions, given that many people cannot attend a workshop during normal working hours due to work and other comittments.
