Cllr Andrew Jones speaking at the Brilliant Business Awards in 2016
Are you thinking about starting a new business in Hammersmith & Fulham? Maybe you have created a new product, have a great business idea, or just a hobby you want to grow?
Our one-day Business Boot Camp will arm you with all the knowledge required to get your business started and growing – all for just £10!
Covering several important subjects, the boot camp can reduce the chances of losing money, time and, potentially, your business.
“We want H&F to be the best place in Europe to do business,” said Cllr Andrew Jones H&F, Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Regeneration.
“That means supporting all businesses, from the multi-nationals who call H&F home, to sole traders and start-ups who might need a helping hand to find their feet.
“This is a great chance for any budding entrepreneurs to get access to some great resources at a fraction of the usual costs.”
The Business Boot Camp will take place at the Macbeth Centre, Macbeth Street, Hammersmith, W6 9JJ on 9 and 29 September.
We also offer two specialist workshops, which include:
Social media for business – This course will introduce social media in the context of business – big and small. It will show how it is changing the way businesses communicate internally and externally; demonstrate examples of the main types of social media tools such as social networks, blogs, wikis etc, when to use each and the benefits of doing so.
The course focuses on understanding what is involved in social media, understanding the importance of security and trust when using social media for business and knowing the usefulness of social media as a business tool.
Setup your own Wordpress website – This course is an introduction into the world of ‘create-your-own’ websites, and how they can be used to create an area where potential customers can interact with your business.
You will also cover the process of signing up with Wordpress and finding resources to help you build a basic site.
Our great introductory prices are £10 for the Business Boot Camp and £5 for specialist workshops.
