Rocket Launch Your Business Project RBKC
The Rocket Launch Your Business – Round 2 is part of the Community Leadership Programme funded by RBKC.

Participants have to follow the requirements below:

  1. RBKC residents who have recently started or are yet to start up their own business or Community Interest Company (CIC).*
  2. They were not part of the Rocket Launch Your Business Project last year.

*We may accept up to 5 existing businesses each time based on their current situation on how they need to develop and improve. Businesses will need to complete a form before accepted by our Team.

PBC will organise 3 courses over the coming year (June  2020 – December 2020) that RBKC residents can register for and attend in full. Participants will be able to improve their business, presentation, digital and financial skills as well as their confidence in order for them to be ready to start their own business. Experienced lecturers/proffesionals will cover a range of topics, including how to create a website, social media marketing, branding and pricing.

PLEASE NOTE: The course will be delivered online via ZOOM (2-hour sessions, 6 mornings and afternoons over 2 weeks) with a short break every 50 minutes.  The majority of sessions will be delivered as ‘webinars’ which means your image nor your name will be visible to other attendees, this will enable us to record the sessions, so if you miss one you can catch up at a more convenient time (using a link that we will forward to you via email). 

To join the course you will need access to the internet, a tablet, computer or a smart phone. You will get a chance to meet other participants at our ‘get to know each other’ networking sessions, please note these will not be recorded.  If you are new to using ZOOM and want some support please let us know and we will arrange a session to help you navigate the platform.

If you would like to discuss the programme before you register, please call Marianna on 0207 460 5056 or send an email marianna@pbc.co.uk who will be happy to discuss it with you.

Due to demand, places will be offered on a strictly first come, first served basis.  Whilst we will do our best to accommodate all interested residents, a response from you does not guarantee that a place is confirmed.

The event is finished.
