Are you over 50 and thinking of starting a business or becoming self-employed? Then come along to PRIME’s FREE taster workshop at the British Library (centrally located between London’s Euston and Kings Cross stations).
* Decide if self-employment is right for you
* Hear from older entrepreneurs who have gone ahead and started.
* Meet local organisations that can help you
* Meet and network with your peers
More details about the programme are below.
The emphasis of this event throughout is on helping you establish whether self-employment is the right thing for you. This event is suitable for those still at the ideas stage, and those with a firm plan in mind who are almost ready to go ahead. Find out the practical steps involved and hear from people who have already done it before making the leap.
All PRIME events are free. As a charity we are interested in helping people make the right decision – to start in business or do something else. Our role is to provide you with good information so you can make a well-informed decision.
