Next dates: 9, 10 & 13 May 2022 (half days, online)

The prospect of launching and running a start-up can be daunting. From finding those early customers and deploying an effective marketing strategy through to building a team and being competitive in your marketplace – there are many challenges and opportunities to be navigated.

That’s where SETsquared comes in. We’ve supported thousands of start-ups to succeed and thrive. We are currently offering a programme of support to founders of start-ups in Swindon and Wiltshire, called an Entrepreneurs Workout, which will help you lay the foundations for a profitable and successful business.

Here are five reasons why you should take part. 

1. It’s fully-funded
   Whilst it’s rare to be offered something for free these days, this business support programme is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), so there is no cost to you to take part. And what’s more, its exclusively for businesses in the Swindon & Wiltshire areas.

2. It comes from the Global no. 1 business incubator
   It’s brought to you by SETsquared. Since 2015, we’ve been ranked as the world-leading business incubator by UBI Global. We’ve previously supported over 4,000 start-ups, helping them to grow and develop and raise £1.8bn investment.

 

You can now access world-leading business support free of charge!

3. It’s completely impartial & delivered by expert mentors
   We’re not trying to up sell you anything and there is no agenda other than our experienced mentors, who’ve been there and done it, helping you to improve your business. This isn’t a programme that this led by a consultant who will inevitably try to tie you into further services, so is therefore a great opportunity to get some impartial feedback on your business.

4. It’s packed with great content
   This is not a traditional webinar. It’s fun and fast-paced and broken up with exercises working on your business, alongside case studies and video. You’ll take a deep dive into your business model, value proposition, customer segmentation, channels for winning customers and revenue model, helping you to build a strong foundation for a profitable and successful business. It’s designed to be very practical and hands on and you’ll be putting theory into practice on your own business as well as other established business models.

5. It’s attracting some rave reviews
   Over 50 Swindon & Wiltshire based businesses have now taken part and we’re receiving some fantastic feedback. Here are just a handful of the comments we’ve received:

“It was the best day and a half we’ve invested in our business to date. For anyone considering joining, I can’t rate this highly enough”

“We left with a more robust proposition and tools which I am sure we will continue to use over the coming months. The sessions exceeded my expectations.”

“It’s not just the content, although the content is great, it’s the participation and feedback from everyone which has really helped me.”

 If you’re the founder of a start-up business in Swindon & Wiltshire, make sure you snap up your place for the next Workout on 10, 11 & 14 May.
