Graduating to Enterprise
The support you need when you go it alone

Running your own business can be scary. But it doesn’t have to be terrifying. With the Graduating to Enterprise (G2E) programme on hand, it needn’t be a shot in the dark either.

G2E will give you the knowledge you need to really make a go of your business. It can help you understand markets, refine business plans and sharpen up tactics. Regardless of whether you’re just thinking about launching, or you’re up and running, G2E won’t abandon you. You’ll have access to a range of practical and engaging help, including an individual mentor, consultancy support and business skills workshops. And all for FREE!

G2E Workshops
To do it or not to do it – that’s the question. G2E sessions will help you work through the pros and cons of starting your own business. Whether you’re after specialist information about a particular industry or area, or a more general insight into the world of business, G2E will have something to suit you. And don’t worry about committing to anything either – you can participate in as many or as few workshops as you like.

In addition to the activities that run throughout the year, G2E also runs a more intensive series of workshops every summer. It’s a week of advice, information and signposting on a variety of topics including marketing, finance, business planning and selling; everything you’ll need to know to get started.

G2E Mentoring and consultancy
Just because you’re going it alone, doesn’t mean you’ll be on your own. G2E will provide all the support you need before you start and 1 year of support after you've started your business. Someone you can bounce ideas off; someone to give you advice and point you in the right direction; someone who’s been there before and knows exactly what you’re going through. You’ll get one-to-one appointments whenever you need them and the comfort of knowing that help is always only a phone call away.

And that’s not all – if you need more specialist advice on anything from marketing consultancy to technology reviews, legal advice to web design, G2E will help out with that too. Everything you can think of and more.

So if you’re ready to take your first steps into the world of business – make sure you don’t do it alone. And the butterflies in your stomach? That’s all part of the thrill of making something for yourself!
