About this Event
WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
People looking to make a part-time income who:
- Don't have a business idea
- Have a hobby they'd like to turn into a business
- Have another idea for a business, but don't know if it is viable
These days most people can do with making some extra money. You've only got to look at social media to see how many side hustles are out there, but unfortunately few deliver on their promises.
Don't waste your time and money chasing rainbows. Find an idea that is going to work for you, that's worth the effort. You never know, it might grow into a full-time job.
This workshop will focus on side hustle ideas that require a financial investment of less than £1000.
By the end of the workshop you will have:
- Identified and scoped a part-time business idea
- Tested the idea for personal and financial viability
Attendees may also wish to take our 1 day course 'Making Money from A Side Hustle', that covers everything required to launch and manage a profitable small business.
