Boost Flying Start: A business start-up course for Lancashire women

The Boost Flying Start programme is running as a 6-month start-up course, for women in Lancashire who are ready to start a small business. The purpose of this course is to: 

• Take women through a systematic programme of starting a solid, sustainable business.
• Equip participants with the skills to run a sustainable small business
• Ensure systems are in place to make things run as smoothly as possible from day one *
• Provide peer support to break the isolation, build confidence and provide accountability

Most small businesses fail in the first two years because the business owner does not have business skills to support their good idea. Our start-up course addresses that problem to ensure participants have the skills and the support they need to launch and grow a sustainable business.

How much does this cost?

This programme is funded from UKSPF via Boost Lancashire. There are just 10 places so you will need to confirm your commitment to attend at least 85% of sessions to be given a place.
