Making the leap from full-time employment to running your own business can be very daunting. There are so many questions to ask. How do I find customers? What type of marketing will work for me? How do I register with HMRC to be able to pay my tax? What happens if my business idea doesn’t work? If you are a resident in BANES and want help with these and many other questions around running your own business, you can access free support and advice from Cool Ventures: a BANES-commissioned service.
They offer 12 hours of free one-to-one advice and support to help your business grow and thrive. You can also access a range of online courses including business development, marketing, writing a business plan, and getting started on social media. Find out more.
Community Catalysts (BANES) and Cool Ventures have joined forces to run a special event for anyone interested in setting up their own care or support at home service. Are you interested in becoming an independent carer, and making a difference in your community? Do you have a gardening or DIY skill which you want to share with vulnerable people living alone? Have you got some spare time and want to offer befriending or companionship support, but you’re not sure how to convert this into a business?
Why not register for our free course on 25th September 2024 in Bath? You’ll be able to meet staff from both Cool Ventures and Community Catalysts, as well as other new entrepreneurs starting on their business journey. Find out more and reserve your place.
