Start Up Your Business

Start Up Your Business is a 4-week online programme for people that want to start up a business or ‘side hustle’, or have started a business within the past 12 months.

It is open to Essex residents age 25+ of any employment status (excluding residents of Southend and Thurrock).  The sessions are delivered by business startup experts who are based in Essex. You’ll be in a small group of 10 people and join every week for 1-hour per week.  No experience is necessary and there is no cost to take part.

  • Week 1: Find the Opportunity 
  • Week 2: Make the Numbers Work
  • Week 3: Test and Take it to Market
  • Week 4: Connect, Fund and Launch

 

All participants will have access to a 10% discount on FSB membership, access to funding advice from Allica Bank and an optional skills course on Finance Foundations (with certificate).

Start Up Your Business forms part of the Working Families Programme.
