Description:
- CUE Business Solutions is offering a series of workshops, accelerator programmes and LaunchPads through the Coventry and Warwickshire Business Support Programme, the activity is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund but free to you.

This workshop will help you decide whether self-employment is right for you and give you some practical skills to get you going.
What we'll cover:
- Personal budgeting – this will include a practical exercise to understand how much money you will need to earn from their business to survive personally.
- Goal setting – what do you need/want to achieve from your business? Includes a practical Vision Orbit planning exercise to set personal and business goals.
- Identifying the gaps - analysing yourself and your ideas - includes a practical exercise looking at your abilities, skills and experience, creative ideas and interests and how these can be matched to your business ideas.
- How to register your business -the different business structures in the UK and how to start them. This will include a practical exercise on the advantages and disadvantages relating to your business idea.
- Basics of business planning - a practical but brief introduction to the business model canvas offering you the chance to sketch out your business ideas on your own canvas. Don’t worry though – we run a further workshop that looks at the lean model canvas in more detail.
Please note - the workshop is interactive and you will need to participate in exercises to get the most out of the session.
