Business Start Up - The Basics

1:30pm, 25th October 2011

Main House MH.1.11, Newton Park

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.

All current Bath Spa University students are eligible to attend.
