Starting a business over 50
Dates: 21st February, 28th February, 6th March, 13th March (4 session programme)
Time: 2pm to 5pm
Venue: Online
The best time to start a business is when you are mid-40s onwards. Ray Kroc took McDonald’s global but he started when he was in his late 50s.
So age is a number – the most important factor in business is developing a product or service that meets a need.
Has your career hit a dead end? Does your job not inspire you?
If so explore the option of starting a business. After a career or 20-30 years you have developed specialist skills that have value but perhaps aren’t being utilised or recognised. Make them your business – from administration to project management to event organising.
This 4-week programme will encourage you to look inside yourself and identify the skills that you can use to set up a business. Once mined we will guide you on how to frame the business offer and lay the foundations for success.
You will finish the programme with an action plan and a framework to create a business with target customers and confidence to go it alone.
