Starting your business

Not sure about what to do and where to go?

There’s a whole range of services that are available to encourage you to consider becoming self-employed and to help you through the process of setting up your own business.

We can offer you informal and informative Be Your Own Boss workshops in your area to give you the confidence to become an entrepreneur. Formal training programmes for all stages of your business are also available including a Marketing & Selling Workshop and Finance, Legal & Business Management Workshop plus a 2-day Imagining Growth Programme for existing businesses. These are also available online as the Women's Enterprise Programme and an Imagining Growth programme.

The online training is flexible so you can access it anytime and anywhere and work through the topics that are relevant to you, your type and stage of business and your own personal and business experience.

Are you worried about childcare? Or dealing with Inland Revenue? Or working by yourself? Have you got the right skills?  Have you got the right business idea? How will you manage the financial side of the business?

There’s many questions to answer!  We can help!  Register for WM Women's Business Centre and get access to lots of online training that you can access where and when it suits you. You can also get access to networking forums and business advice to help you develop your ideas and business plans.

The Business Planning module gives an overall view of your business and how to plan it and draws on the research and work that you've done in the other modules.
