Women in Business: Explore It programme

This programme will address a range of business start-up issues and help build confidence and skills

The Women in Business Explore It programme is for women at the pre-start (idea stage) or early stage of trading in their business.

Training will address a wide range of business start-up issues and help to build confidence and grow business skills.

The Explore It programme involves:

• business start training
• digital marketing training
• peer advisory groups
• buddy support
• four months of ongoing support

Explore It is for those who:

• have a business idea, and may have carried out some research, but aren’t sure if it is viable or how to go from idea to trading
• have received some support with their business idea (eg attended the Go For It/ Go Succeed programme) but need more help to secure their first sales
• have had some sales but it is low level (hobby/side hustle) and their vision is to create a full-time business
• are trading less than a year, sales levels are very low, so there is a need to review and develop sales and marketing
