Business Services & Jobs

New Year, New Business?

Thinking of starting or diversifying a rural business? 

Our Business Startup Sessions will help you to:

• Decide if self-employment is right for you
• Appreciate the realities of running a business
• Examine your reasons for starting a business
• Test your ideas
• Decide how to take things forward

You will be able to share experiences and ideas with like-minded people, and you will  also learn how to take a business plan forward.

The course starts in mid-January, and will consist of a mixture of guided home working, online tuition and four workshops where you can meet with like-minded people and share experience and ideas.   The course is FREE, benefiting from EU funding.

The sessions will be informal and interactive, and will be facilitated by Trevor Jones (Manager of the Barony College Business Development Centre) and Anne McNeill (an experienced business development consultant).   If you have any questions, please call Trevor Jones on 01387 242914 during office hours.

The sessions will be held at Barony College, Parkgate, Dumfries, DG1 3NE.
