Enterprise Start Introduction is a two-part workshop designed to help people who are considering starting their own businesses understand and evaluate the entrepreneurship process and what it involves.
The workshops take place over two consecutive evenings and are aimed at individuals with business ideas that have the potential to be scaled up significantly within three years and be export driven.
In the first session, participants will be taken through the business development process. Specific focus will be on the market for the product/service, defining the value proposition, undertaking market research, working up a clear market focus and other market development issues. This will be followed by a case study from a local entrepreneur, who will talk about starting a technology business from their experience.
Session two will focus on the funding supports available through Enterprise Ireland, while a local entrepreneur will share their experience of raising finance and funding a start-up.
After completing a workshop, participants may have the opportunity to progress to a 12-month Enterprise Platform Programme, and/or engage with an Enterprise Ireland development adviser on an individual basis with a view to developing a full business plan. Participants will also have the opportunity for one-to-one consultation with Enterprise Ireland staff regarding their individual needs.
The Enterprise START Programme's workshop is targeted at business start ups that have a significant potential for growth. The product or service should be innovative and exportable,have the potential to employ ten people and realising export sales of €1m in 3 years.
