Running from 14th to 17th July in the mornings the Cumbria Chamber of Commerce course covers all areas you need to consider when starting out on your own.

The sponsor for this course is William King Construction, William attended the course some years ago and comments below on this full circle moment:
“I attended the Chamber’s four-day business start-up course in 2008, at a point when William King Construction was little more than an idea, 1 bucket of tools and a lot of ambition.
The course gave me a practical understanding of the fundamentals of running a business, but perhaps more importantly it gave me the confidence to believe that building something of my own was possible.
Seventeen years later, William King Construction has grown into a business employing more than 100 people across Cumbria, delivering projects ranging from luxury homes to major commercial and nuclear-sector work.
Looking back, that course was one of the earliest building blocks in our journey. It provided knowledge, encouragement and a framework that helped turn an idea into a sustainable business.
Supporting future entrepreneurs through programmes like this is incredibly important. Every successful business starts somewhere, and for me, this course was one of those starting points.”
