Starting in Business

Many people of all backgrounds hold the dream of starting and running their own business. This can be a daunting task, but can be achieved by anyone regardless of their age, background or physical disability – so long as they have the desire and motivation to succeed, and the ability to learn a wide range of management skills.

FourThinking have helped many individuals to start and succeed in business, through offering training, advice, consultancy and support to individuals who are prepared to undertake that big step of Starting in Business.

We have produced some booklets for you to download and read as an initial guide to some of the issues you need to consider for a business start-up.

The booklets cover the following topics:

  • Finance
  • Marketing and Sales
  • IT/e-commerce
  • Legal issues
  • Planning, Implementation and Evaluation

What can we offer you ?

We can offer 1-2-1 support to individuals to help develop their business ideas and to help with the production and implementation of a Business Plan. Please contact us for further details.

In addition, we regularly run training courses for small groups of people who are thinking of starting a business or who have just started their own business.

All our advisers have started up and run their own business. They also undertake regular CPD (continuing Professional Development) and are members of relevant trade bodies to ensure that their skills remain current. We work closely with other providers of support to start-up businesses in order to be able to assist our clients in the most effective way.
