The Just Enterprise Start-Up workshops series is back. Across six dates and two locations, the workshops will cover the key areas new social entrepreneurs need to master as they start and develop their businesses: Finances and Legal Considerations.
The first workshops in the series will run in Stirling, followed by Inverness in the new year (dates to follow). Join our experts and like-minded social entrepreneurs for these free, half-day interactive workshops to hone your skills and increase your confidence in a supportive environment. As a complementary series, these workshops build on each other’s content, so attending both sessions is recommended.
You can’t make the autumn dates? No problem. Both workshops will run in the autumn and again in the winter or spring, depending on location.

Testimonial from last year’s workshop
‘Such a valuable session. I’ve attended a number of finance workshop as it is definitely my weakness, but this was by far the most useful. It wasn’t daunting, it wasn’t dry and real -life challenges were met with simple answers/advice.’
