Outset in Bristol
We currently have our South Bristol Enterprise Support Project and North & East Bristol Enterprise Support delivering a programme of tailored advice, coaching and grants to individuals and businesses across Bristol through our Outset brand.
At Outset, we know how inspiring the idea of working for yourself can be, but also that managing your own business can sometimes be daunting – that’s why we’re here! We’ve helped thousands of people just like you across the UK to make their dreams come true, by giving them the confidence, knowledge and skills to create thriving and successful businesses.
If you have a business idea in mind, this practical support programme will guide you through all the critical steps needed for success. We will strengthen your business skills, knowledge and confidence, and help you lay the right foundations for a thriving, sustainable business. Our comprehensive content covers areas such as knowing your customer, marketing, demand generation and sales, building competitive advantage, and ensuring you have enough working capital to help your business fly.
We won’t baffle you with jargon, but will share our wealth of knowledge and expertise in a friendly and supportive way, helping to develop you and your business. You’ll also be working in a group of your peers, and benefitting from the invaluable support of, and connections with, a like-minded community.
From developing your business idea and creating your business plan to launching your business, Outset is with you every step of the way.
Just get in touch with the team to find out more about how Outset can help you and your business.
What we do
Introduction to Enterprise: Covers the fundamentals of setting up your business by helping you understand how to test the market, think of who your customers are, and where to sell. By the end of these sessions you will have completed all the basic learning to help you create a business plan for your new start-up.
Business Start Up: A range of sessions on specific essential topics, such as social media; website design; start-up finance; and many more. As well as 1-2-1 support with your advisor to tackle your individual needs and challenges to develop a successful business.
Outset Online: Our excellent online platform is full of great content and exercises to work through in your own time. We also facilitate groups on here so that you can communicate with those you have met in workshops, and other entrepreneurs nationally… A fantastic way to build a network of like-minded people.
Outset Finance: Financing the start or growth of a business can be a challenge, but our sister service, Outset Finance, is a national delivery partner for the government’s Start Up Loan programme. The Outset Finance team will guide you through the application process and provide post-loan mentoring.
