Call in to our FREE drop in information evening Wednesday 05th February 2020 anytime between 5.00pm – 7pm to meet the local business advisors in your area and to find out more about how Go for it can help you to drive your business idea forward.
The Go For It programme provides individuals in Northern Ireland who are thinking of starting a business, with step by step advice and mentoring.
The programme focuses on guidance to help you produce your own business plan, which is often described as a ‘roadmap’ to success for the first few years in business.
Empower yourself with the information you need to take the next steps and drive your business dream forward.
And remember we’re for any business ideas. Big or small.
Go for it is a free programme open to individuals over 16 years of age. Individuals aged between 16 and 18 are eligible to participate but will require parental/guardian approval. However if the individual is aged 16-18 and is still in full-time education they will be ineligible to participate in the Go for it programme but we can signpost to other organisations. The Go for it programme is open to new businesses or businesses trading 6 months or less in Northern Ireland.
