Falkirk workshops can provide the answers

Many will decide that the start of 2016 is the time to venture into setting up their own business. While this may seem like a daunting prospect, there are plenty of people and organisations offering to help with the process.

Business Gateway Falkirk has a range of fully funded workshops and events designed to give a helping hand.

Whether you are a first-time entrepreneur or someone with experience of being your own boss, the workshops cover a range of topics that will guide people through the maze of tax, marketing, social media and book keeping etc.

Three start-up seminars take place in the next few weeks at the Falkirk Stadium and they’re free.

On Thursday, January 21 from 9.30am to 12.30pm there is a workshop about trading online, while the basics of tax and National Insurance will be explained on Monday, January 25 from 1.30-3pm. An awareness seminar to look at all that is required when you set up a business takes place on Monday, February 1 from 6-7.30pm.

Carron Smith of Business Gateway said: “The first few months of the year are traditionally a busy period for Business Gateway as people use their resolutions as a way to kick start their entrepreneurial dreams.”
