Kick Start Your New Business

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME: Kickstart is a 14-week full-time FULLY FUNDED incubator programme designed to equip and support you through the process of starting a business. The programme isn’t learning about business, it’s learning to DO business! Some participants will already have a business idea and others will not, that’s ok – the programme helps to develop and refine ideas until they are viable. The programme is mainly online but there are 3/4 in-person sessions/celebrations that all learners must attend.

All the Trainers and Mentors are exceptional at delivering their chosen subject from their respective fields. They genuinely cared about each one of us and our business ideas. Each delivered their class with insight, personality, knowledge and FUN! I have gained such information from the various modules and though some areas of learning were so new to me. I would highly recommend the Kickstart programme with The Entrepreneurs Academy; It is invaluable.

"At the beginning of the Kick Start Program I knew I wanted to run my own business but felt very overwhelmed by where to start. This program really helped to alleviate some of the concerns that I had. The tutors brought their expert knowledge and were very open to questions and discussion during the classes, which allowed for us to learn from each other. There is a lot of content covered and the weekly assignments helped to keep me on track to produce my business plan. Having completed the course, I feel confident about moving forward with my business idea and have a full understanding of the necessary steps to take. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in starting a business"

"There is a world of difference between being an artist and running a fulltime art business. By the end of the course I had set up as a sole trader, organized my accounts, set up a website, developed my social media presence, learnt a lot about networking, how to making a pitch and much more. Above all, my mindset had changed and I have grown in confidence. The course helped to clarify for me what I wanted from my business and how to set realistic goals for it. I learnt so much on the course and it has changed how I approach running my art business."
