Start Your Own Business – Introduction

If you have a deep desire to get paid for doing the work you were meant to do, this 2.5 hour seminar would be a great place to start.

More and more people attend the “Start Your Own Business” Seminar every month letting us know their business ideas and asking us to support their dream from the very first day.

Most of them start, run and grow their own sustainable businesses. If they have managed to take the first step, you can as well! Sometimes the only thing that you need is someone to provide you with a clear route map to follow. We are here for you! Get ready to become self-employed!

Our Senior Business Advisor Maria Stammers will take you through the basics you need to know at the beginning.

She will also help you to identify whether or not your business idea is viable, to make you feel more confident and explain to you that this is not as complicated as appears to be.

When: Tuesday 31st March 2020 at 5:00pm – 7:30pm, at Kensington Central Library, Lecture Theatre, (Back of library, off from Campden Hill Road), 12 Phillimore Walk, W8 7RX

Cost: Without charge

After that you can attend the full Business Start-Up course or meet one of our Business Advisors. Just give your dreams the chance to come true.
