Start-Up Skills 2-Day Workshop
From plans to progress—let’s build the foundation of your business together.
If the Self-Employment Discovery (SED) workshop helped you explore whether entrepreneurship is right for you, this 2-day Start-Up Skills course is your next step.
Now it’s time for the real, practical detail behind launching a sustainable business—tailored specifically to your idea.
What You’ll Gain:
This hands-on workshop gives you the tools, techniques, and confidence to take your idea from concept to launch. It’s ideal for anyone ready to move forward and start building the business they’ve imagined.
With expert guidance and a collaborative group setting, you’ll work through:
- Your business idea – tested, challenged, and strengthened
- Marketing – market research, positioning, and how to sell you
- Finance & Money – demystified with simple, practical tools to assess viability and manage risk
- Legal aspects – understanding structure, protecting your IP, and staying compliant
- Sustainability – building for the long haul: client management, growth planning, and resilience
- Connections – the power of networking, collaboration, and support systems that help you thrive
This is where clarity meets action—your plans start becoming real.
What Makes SUS Different from Discovery?
- Discovery helps you decide if self-employment is the right path
- Start-Up Skills gives you the how—the detail, tools, and steps to bring your idea to life
This is where you refine your business plan, prepare to launch, and build momentum.
