How we can help
Business Start Up
A series of 3 day modular workshops covering all the essential topics for business success will be held virtually or at local venues.
Professional Advisor support
You’ll be able to access some 1:1 advisor support by phone, skype, email or in person, ideal for when you get a bit stuck and just need to discuss something specific for your business. With Outset, there’s always someone to help you on your enterprise journey – there’s no such thing as a stupid question!
Outset Online
Our excellent online platform is full of great content and exercises to work through in your own time, so if you need to take a bit longer to prepare your business plan, or prefer to learn at home or after hours, or just work through an exercise again to ensure your understanding, this platform will really be helpful to you.
Our national Outset community
We also facilitate a virtual community so that you can stay in touch with those you have met in workshops or at our events, as well as other Outset entrepreneurs across the UK. This is a fantastic way to build your network of like-minded people, share ideas and ask questions, and also find potential collaborators or suppliers. The Outset community believe in helping each other, as they’ve all been on the same journey.
