Have you ever
wished you could work for yourself? Thought about what
it might be like to be your own boss? What if you could
turn your side hustle into your full or part time gig?
Starting a business or becoming self-employed can be
scary. From how to figure out what you’re selling and who’s going to buy it,
to understanding the rules for registering as self-employed or knowing what
you need to do to set up a business, for many people turning their dream into
a reality seems impossible.
Not anymore!
In our Go Succeed: Is Business Right For Me
Sessions you’ll hear from an entrepreneur who has been in your
position and taken the leap.
We’re looking for people who aren’t currently working and
who don’t get work-related benefits like Job Seekers, Working Tax Credits
etc…
Are you a home-maker, retiree, carer, long term
sick/disabled or maybe a student not currently working (among other groups)?
Join us for an informal session which will give you the
lowdown on everything you need to consider to ask “Is Business Right For Me”?
In session we will
help you:

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have an idea you want to
explore or you just like the sound of thinking about how you could take
control of your own future, then come along and meet like-minded people in a
relaxed, casual and informal setting.
You’ll also get to hear about the Go Succeed: Get Started In Business Programme and how you can
apply for up to 10 hours mentoring and a financial assistant package.

Who is eligible to take part?
Economically
inactive people are those who are not currently in work and not actively
looking for a job. This can include people who are long-term sick or
disabled, carers, parents without access to childcare, students, or those
recovering from illness.
It can also
include people who have stepped back from work due to confidence, transport,
or digital barriers, as well as early retirees or those waiting for a change
in circumstances before returning to employment.
The term also
covers those caring for family members, managing long-term health conditions,
studying full time, or taking time out for personal reasons. Many people in
this group want to contribute but face barriers that make traditional
employment difficult.
Typically,
economically inactive people may or may not be in receipt of benefits but are
considered outside the active labour market.
