chamber training academy 

Are you in your first two years of business growth?

This programme could be for you - starting Autumn 2019

Starting and running your own business can be challenging in the first two years. Currently there is very little support in this area so Worthing and Adur Chamber has managed to secure some funding through the Adur & Worthing Business Partnership to deliver a programme of support.

The course is designed to run for six 3 hour sessions over 4-5 months and provide delegates with an overview of the main knowledge areas to embark on running their own business. This provides a more stable foundation for future growth.

There will be an opportunity to involve and engage with, ongoing support services offered by Worthing and Adur Chamber and other accredited support providers such as the Growth Hub, Councils (both local and County) and grant/funding providers as relevant.

It is also planned to signpost the delegates to established business to business service providers such as accountants, banks and lawyers who may briefly present to the delegates on the services they offer as needed.

Each session will include either a business development workshop including simple finance, Business planning, who is your customer, marketing with results, sales made easy, social media and website, a speaker from a recent start-up business to share their experience or a specific topic specialist.

By attending the program you will gain the following: strategic direction, focus, motivation, business management skills, shared ideas & inspiration, creativity & innovation, networking opportunities, growth, insight & knowledge
