Business Start Up - The Basics

Tuesday 25 October 2011, Newton Park, MH.1.11, 1.30pm – 4.30pm

The majority of new businesses fail in the first 12 months and the cause is usually poor preparation with no clear direction.

Why do you want to set up a business and what do you want to get from it? There’s no right or wrong answer – it’s about personal goals, which then become business goals.

This workshop will start you off with some practical skills for realising your business idea.

  • Personal audit
  • How to plan for survival, break-even and making a living
  • Simple but effective tools for doing an analysis of your business idea
  • Options for different legal structures you could set up
  • A four-point plan for risk management and protecting your business
  • How to use a business plan as a To Do List as well as a portfolio for presenting your business to others

 The insight gained from this workshop will put you in a good position to make an entry to Bath Spa University’s Business Enterprise Competition 2011-12.
