We often get people saying they have a great idea but don’t know where to start. Well, look no further: this is it!

This is the first interactive workshop of the Propeller Start-up Programme, designed to get you business-ready in as little as four weeks. Anyone interested in learning about how to be an entrepreneur or interest in making money as a freelancer will find this workshop a useful place to start.

Combining elements of Brilliant Business Ideas (watch here) and Business for Beginners, this workshop looks at the very first steps of starting a business.

Starting with coming up with the idea and checking that it can be successful, this workshop will provide you with a comprehensive roadmap of the first areas you need to address.

Not only do we show you how to conduct basic market research and anticipate start-up costs, but we also talk you through the stages needed for a business plan.
