Suzanne Noble, one of the course creators, explains, “Many participants in our programme are currently employed full-time but are contemplating their next phase in life. Based on my personal experience, I know that it can take up to two years to generate a full-time salary, so it’s important to plan ahead. Starting with a side gig is often the best way to test the viability of your business idea without taking on excessive risk by quitting your current job.”
The course covers all the essential aspects of starting a business.
You’ll learn how to identify your target customers, locate them effectively, determine appropriate pricing strategies, develop marketing and branding techniques, and address any legal requirements your business may have.
By the end of the programme, you will have created a concise one-page business plan and gained the confidence to take the next steps towards your entrepreneurial journey.
Courses run throughout the year. Go to startupschoolforseniors.com to find out more and register for the next available programme.
