Starting Off Right Seminars

 

The Starting Off Right programme is for people considering how to go about starting a new business.  It's important to start off right. 

 

Many new businesses struggle due to a variety of challenges that could have been avoided or handled better.  If additional time is taken - by following the Starting off Right programme - in upskilling, planning and preparing for possible hurdles, success is more likely.

 

Steps in the Starting off Right programme:

1.       Excellerator Starting off Right

1.  Excellerator Starting off Right

We recommend you complete an Excellerator Starting off Right online assessment which will evaluate the following:

 

  • Whether starting a small business is appropriate for you
  • Your business idea, your business model and your level of preparedness

 

This online assessment will take approximately 1 hour to complete.  You will receive a report via email detailing the results of this evaluation.

 

2.  Starting off Right seminar

Starting Off Right is a seminar to empower, inform and help networking for start-up businesses.  This four hour workshop will provide information about the many concerns business owners have when starting a business.  It also provides an opportunity to network with others who have similar queries and challenges.  There is no charge for the Starting off Right seminar.
