`Start Up` for budding entrepreneurs
20 June 2012
Budding entrepreneurs thinking of starting their own business have been getting advice and support through an enterprise event organised by Belfast City Council.
`Start Up Belfast` is a one-stop shop event with a business advice clinic, workshops, networking opportunities and exhibitions from business support organisations.
Attendees to the event at the Holiday Inn will get the opportunity to find out more about `Getting Started`; ` Financing Your Business`; `Top Tips for Marketing Your Business`; using Social Media to promote your business and `Selling Online` and what not to do.
Among the guest speakers at the event today are Jason Shankey from Jason Shankey Male Grooming and John Blisard from Boojum in Belfast.
Alderman Christopher Stalford, Chairman of Belfast City Council`s Development Committee, said: “Start Up Belfast will be a fantastic opportunity for people thinking of starting a business to find out what it entails. They will hear from inspirational entrepreneurs who started their own businesses and learn about the challenges and rewards that were brought from doing so.
“The initiative is also part of the council`s ongoing commitment to supporting local business and entrepreneurs across the city.”
The programme is funded by Belfast City Council, Invest NI and the European Regional Development Fund under the European Sustainable Competitiveness Programme for Northern Ireland.
