BIPC Norfolk Summer School: How to start a business

The Business & IP Centre Norfolk (BIPC Norfolk), based in Norfolk Library & Information Service, is running a free online Summer School starting on Thursday 28 July. It's aimed at 16-25-year-olds to give them an idea of what's required to start a business. Starting a business may not be quite right for them now, but it will give them an insight into the skills and aptitudes required, and may pique their interest enough to choose business as an option for further studies.

Each week from Thursday 28 July to Thursday 1 September (09:30-11:30) we will cover a different topic, and participants will have the chance to ask questions throughout. There will also be the chance to hear from a successful young business owner about their experience of starting and running a business.

The Summer School will cover topics including:

• Introduction to BIPC Norfolk
• Identifying any additional skills needed
• Getting started with a business idea
• Pros and cons of being self-employed
• Developing a business plan; choosing targeted marketing methods
• Introduction to intellectual property.
