Starting a new business can be a daunting prospect. You’re feeling confident about your training and skills and know you can offer a good service. But what about all the other aspects of running a business? Maybe you have little experience with keeping accounts, marketing and promotion or even knowing how to get started?
Yes, most entrepreneurs will tell you it’s exciting and rewarding to shape your own destiny by setting up a company, but it can also have many challenges. We understand how scary it can feel and, in response to many requests from students, we’ve compiled this course to take the fear and mystery out of starting a business and help you feel prepared and confident to go ahead.
We know you’re wondering how you can attract enough clients, what your official obligations are, how you can raise finance, how to brand yourself to stand out and much more. We answer all these concerns. We’ve divided the course into categories which break down the project of starting your business into clear and definable areas. It’s especially focused on the kind of businesses our students are interested in building.
