Now is as good a time as any for people who want to be their own boss to take control, make things happen, and show the world what they can do by taking advantage of the advice, training and support on offer.
In the current economic climate it may seem that starting a business is madness but not so says Colbea, the business advice centre. It has launched a new programme of ‘Step Into Business’ courses for people who want to increase their chances of success as they start out on a new venture.
The 3-day course address all the issues that people starting a business have to face, such as how to find investment, marketing and selling, and tackling legal and taxation matters. Most importantly, it helps delegates prepare a professional business plan that tests out their idea and gives them a well researched document to take to the banks if they need funding.
