Start Up Bootcamp

Free business start up coaching

We facilitate tailor made, intensive coaching for new enterprises looking to achieve fast growth, through a four part programme. Each Bootcamp session will focus on a vital element of starting your own high growth business.

Part 1

The first session provides an opportunity to develop the business idea and examine its viability, and also explores your own personal strengths and motivations. Conducting effective market research and identifying potential competitors will also form a large part of the day. You will be encouraged to think about how you will sell your product or service and how you will generate your own sales and marketing plans. 

Part 2

The second part of Bootcamp will focus on how you will finance your business and how best to present yourself to potential investors.  You will be given the opportunity to learn about funding opportunities available in the local area and the products which are most suitable to you.

Once we know that your idea is a viable one and that there is a market for your product or service, you will begin to learn the business basics.  These are the essential tasks which every new entrepreneur should be armed with in order to reach its full potential, for example, business banking, registering your business, finding premises and personal organisation.  

Part 3

New businesses with high growth potential will usually need help to achieve their goals.  Part four of Bootcamp provides an introduction to building a team around you. HR specialists will be on hand to help you to identify your immediate and future staffing needs and will advise you on the best way to find employees who are as committed to your business as you are. 

Part 4

This will be an opportunity for you the new enterprise to take part in a number of supplementary seminars as identified through the earlier parts of Bootcamp. Topics covered will include; bidding for contracts; networking; using the internet in business; international trade; environmental sustainability. 
 
By the end of Bootcamp you will be equipped with the knowledge to progress with your new business venture and will have created a personalised growth action plan.  You now have the opportunity to access a business mentor who will offer continued support on a one to one basis.
