Start Your Own Business - begins July 16th

This is an 8 Week Online programme being delivered 1 evening per week with the goal of supporting you to develop your idea into a business.

The LEO SYOB programme is designed for:

• Anyone with a business idea they want to develop
• Anyone looking at self-employment as a realistic career option
• Anyone who has recently started a business

The programme will guide you through the various aspects of business and business planning.  The objective is to assist you in assessing your idea, its viability and to decide if you should proceed or take a step back.

The Programme will help participants who are considering or already starting a new business to explore the key areas of Legals Issues for Startups, Finance and Basic Bookkeeping, Pricing the Product or Service, Marketing & Promotion, Sales and Negotiation, Market Research and Business Planning.  We also explore what supports are available for the business through the Local Enterprise Office and how to access other forms of startup funds such as Microfinance Ireland.
