07 September 2008Free start-up workshops
Starting your own business can be exciting and for many people it may be the best career decision they will ever take. It can also be extremely challenging and is not without risks.
Sadly, many newly launched enterprises do not make it beyond the first or second year of trading. Often start-ups fail because of poor planning, insufficient understanding of the critical issues contributing to business success or simply because the way of life does not suit the person starting the business.
Business Link, the publicly-funded business support organisation, runs an extensive start-up programme both to help those thinking of starting a business to decide whether this is right for them and then to plan the all-important first steps in creating an enterprise that will survive and grow. To participate in a programme of free local seminars visit the Start up in Kent website.
