One of the first steps to running a successful business is to have a good idea – but because you’re not sure that your business idea is strong enough or you can’t think of a viable business idea, doesn’t mean that you can’t or shouldn’t run your own business. The SHEILD programme could be the answer you’re looking for. The programme will help you to develop new ideas that can help you launch your own business. SHEILD is a free part-time evening programme aimed at people who want to start their own businesses, but do not have fully worked-up ideas about what that business might be, or might involve.
What does the SHEILD/Business Ideas Programme Offer:
It will help you examine your strengths and relevant experiences
Assist you to generate creative, unique ideas
Encourage you to assess and shortlist those ideas with the most potential
Help you through a commercial investigation of your concepts
Signpost you to organisations who can help you along the way
