Start-up Saturday - What’s stopping you Starting?

The hardest part about starting up is starting out. This is why we have organised a Start Up Saturday to get you motivated and full of knowledge so you can make a giant leap towards creating your business!

If you are working and dreaming of having your own business; or are simply not sure how to go about starting a business; then you need to come along.

It doesn’t matter what your idea is or what your circumstances are – we are here to help you turn your ideas into reality – no matter how big or small!

This fully funded workshop will cover:

The workshop is run by Tim Ashcroft, a Winsford-based entrepreneur who set up his business Innovas here 18 years ago; working in conjunction with Cheshire West & Chester Council. Tim brings his personal experience of the challenges, disasters and successes since he started and the many lessons learned on the way!
