Specialised start-up business support for the over 50’s
Our experience of working with the over 50’s has shown that they have the experience, life skills and knowledge which is perfect for self-employment. Mainstream business support does not recognise the value of the over 50’s to enterprise. Our programme is tailored to help this client group overcome the unique barriers they face. At Enterprise Exchange we are very aware that many over 50’s dream of running their own business and have inspiring ideas, but for various reasons, they have barriers to face and hurdles to get over and this can stop some even thinking about starting a business.
What we offer
Workshops
Our workshops are for the over 50’s needing support to start up a new business. Our support is practical, non-academic and is focused on confidence and self- esteem building, as well as the technical skills for starting up in self-employment.
The three workshops run over three days and cover an introduction to self-employment, business planning and sales and marketing. They are a chance for like-minded people to come together to plan their new businesses and set up their own networks.
Workshops can be tailored for each group and we can vary the content to make it relevant.
One to one support
These give our participants the chance to talk through their ideas in a supportive environment. We are able to look at issues of self-esteem, confidence and wellbeing, as well as business planning.
Follow up support
This continues once businesses get going. We have been involved with many people for whom starting their own business has turned their lives around and given them much more than just a regular income.
