Are you interested in starting your own business? If you are but don’t know where to start, then come along to one of our free business advice workshops, aimed at dispelling some of the myths around how to start a business and giving you lots of useful help and tips on how to progress your ideas.

Researching my idea/s
Writing my business plan

Is anyone else already doing this better, faster, cheaper? My competitors
Am I legally set up to run my business? (e.g., Can I run my business from home?)
