Chamber of Solutions: Starting my own business – Practical Steps in the journey

Summary:

This FREE Portsmouth Chamber of Solutions event helps you address the many practical challenges and needs in progressing towards establishing your start-up. Maintaining an eye on the needs of the new business requires clear focus on business planning, building relationships, getting your goods and services to market and the essential management of costs, margins and finance.

This Chamber of Solutions will feature breakout sessions on:

• Financing your business
• Keeping Business Plans fresh
• Effective collaboration and partnerships

Setting up a business requires absolute commitment addressing many personal challenges, financial insecurity and a sense of isolation as you gradually develop towards a greater sense of self-determination and self-confidence. This is a journey taken by all entrepreneurs.

The event will address your challenges, allowing you to share your experiences and hear from others across the Chamber of Solutions community. It is clear that no single specialist has all the answers, and so sharing with fellow businesses can provide some practical insights. Portsmouth Chamber of Solutions is your problem solver for your business challenges.
