Our business start-up programme.
Our most popular business start-up programme includes 12-months of tailored 1:1 support from a Business Start-Up Advisor. No two journeys look the same as every participant has such a different idea of what self-employment looks like to them.
See below for an example as to what our participants can expect to receive.
Introductory session
An introductory session to map out their ideas, goals and plans, both long and short term.
Marketing support
Dedicated sessions to focus on marketing strategies, including how to find customers online, how to build a digital presence and how to create a free website.
Webinars
Invitations to regular webinars on current topics within the self-employment world.
Live action plan
A “live action plan” document that is revised during their catch-ups with their Business Start-Up Advisor.
Brand building
Time spent on building a brand identity.
Tax support
Unlimited support from our in-house Tax Specialist who can support them navigate the scary initial steps of registering their business, and providing they register as a sole trader, support with their first year's Self-Assessment tax return.
1:1 sessions
1:1 sessions to look at business plans, cash flow documents and personal survival budgets.
E-Learning portal
Access to our e-learning portal for learner-led resources and activities (including modules on resilience, confidence and mental health for business owners).
Tax Healthcheck
A Tax Healthcheck, whereby if the participant has been self-employed previously, we can take stock on where they are at, support with outstanding returns and in some instances support with appealing fines & penalties.
