A free workshop for start-up businesses is taking place on Thursday 13 February at The Showroom, Lincoln 5.30pm to 8pm.
The event will put county entrepreneurs, those looking to start a new business, in touch with start-up business coaches who can advise on available funding and the best routes to market. This event is suitable for those who:
- are in education and are now looking to self-employment
- are unemployed and are now looking to self-employment
- are in the armed forces and are looking to self-employment as part of their Re-settlement
- are in employment but are looking to go self employed
- are part of an established business which has an idea they would like to ‘hive out’
- have an idea or concept that has the potential for commercialisation
As well as this, there will be a chance to meet with experts across all business disciplines such as finance, marketing, legal requirements and much more.
At the end of the event guests will leave with hints, tips and knowledge – as well as free pre-arranged one-to-one consultation with the presentation speakers.
Marie Pritchett, from the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “Our aim is to provide free advice to those wanting to start a new business”.
“There will be several presentations about business planning, avoiding financial pitfalls, business banking, legal considerations, as well as branding and marketing. And there will be a chance for guests to hear from people who have launched their own business, and are reaping the rewards”.
