Budding entrepreneurs are being offered help to set up their own businesses.
The PopUp Business School has teamed up with Trafford Council and partners to offer a free five-day course.
It will teach practical ways to get a business idea off the ground and give people the opportunity to start up their own business, regardless of experience or financing.
The course will start on 12th November and will be held at Stretford Mall. Each day will focus on different topics, ranging from taxing and payroll to creating your own website and social media. It is open to any resident who has an idea they would like to develop into a business and to start-up companies who need some guidance and support getting off their feet.
The PopUp Business school has been brought to Trafford by Trafford Council in partnership with Trafford Housing Trust Social Investment Fund , DWP, Business Growth Hub, Your Housing Group, Unltd, Irwell Valley Housing, Stretford Mall, Arcon Housing, Our Sale West partnership and Arawak Housing.
Councillor James Wright, Trafford Council Executive Member for Investment, Regeneration and Strategic Planning, will be attending the event to see some of the innovative ideas for himself.
He said:
“The PopUp Business School is a fabulous initiative. It will offer invaluable advice, guidance and support to local people who have ambitions of working for themselves but may not know where to start. We look forward to seeing the range of ideas brought to the table and watching them being transformed into business ideas.”
