Entrepreneurship 101

With global recession seemingly never far from the horizon, and unemployment rates in a constant state of flux, running your own business is a sensible move for many people with skills and knowledge to offer.

In this basic Entrepreneurship course, we will briefly cover all the broad areas you will need to consider as you begin the process of starting your own small business. As the most important person in the business, we cover you, the entrepreneur, how to brand yourself, and assess your own strengths and weaknesses. We cover the legal implications including documentation and Intellectual Property, as well as the Business Plan and the financial models you will need to construct.

Moving into the physical business, we lead you through the 'Clicks and Bricks' of your venture, the online and physical space your business will occupy, and how to operate your business in the beginning, from a logistical and operational standpoint.

Marketing your business effectively is crucial for maximum exposure and we will lead you through market research, your website, marketing tools, and how to check that your marketing is reaching your desired audience. As you grow you may want to collaborate with others, and we cover the variety of people you might choose to have part of your venture, either as stakeholders or advisors.

Managing the level of risk involve is a high priority, and it is vital that you do this effectively in order to keep your own stress levels low. Another stress-inducing area we consider is funding, and as we explore your funding options, we lead you through the financial considerations you will require, such as cash flow, and using financial packages to automate your workload, particularly if you do not have a financial background. In closing, we illustrate the importance of working smart, and hard, to make your new business dreams a reality.
