Boost Flying Start: Financial management and funding for start-ups and SMEs

Boost’s Flying Start workshops are for people with a business idea they want to turn into a reality.

Business Start-up Essentials is the first in a series of three Boost Flying Start workshops and an opportunity for entrepreneurs to build new and develop existing business skills.

Our face-to-face workshops are lead by an experienced business coach and you will work with like-minded people and have the chance to discuss and develop your new business idea.

All three events are listed below. What you take from each workshop and how you implement the learning is driven by you!
