“Turning your idea into a business. One practical day to help you test your thinking, make a plan and take the next step with confidence.

Starting a business is one of the most exciting things you can do. It’s also one of the most uncertain. That mix of excitement and doubt,

‘Is this a good idea? Do I know enough? Where do I even start?’,

is something thousands of people across Tees Valley are thinking about right now.

This fully funded, practical workshop is designed specifically for people who are seriously considering taking the leap into self-employment or business ownership but want to make sure they’re ready. Delivered locally it’s a full day focused entirely on helping you test your idea, understand what it takes, and leave with a clearer picture of your next steps.

There’s no theory or jargon, just real, structured support from people who understand what it’s like to start from scratch.”
