The programme operated around three themes: Engagement, awareness and support. InBiz delivered an outreach service in Egremont, for local people within the community.

Programme elements:

Engagement and Awareness
Delivered in small groups at a local venue by one of our trained business consultants the groups learnt about the benefits or pitfalls of becoming self employed.

Support
InBiz offered business skills training for those people who were interested in exploring self-employment further. Specialist support and training was delivered and tailored to the individual. This included the development of business plans or more specific elements of self-employment such as tax and marketing. This, coupled with the dedicated support of an outreach worker, ensured that any enterprise in the area received the best start or advice on how to grow.
