Calling
all entrepreneurs
Organised
by the Fingal County Enterprise Board and funded by FÁS, the
“Start Your Own Business” programme is looking for potential
entrepreneurs in Dublin 15.
The part-time course is suitable for anyone seriously thinking of setting
up their own business and begins in the LINC Centre at the Institute
of Technology in Blanchardstown on Thursday April 3rd, one evening a
week for ten weeks.
Each week, participants grapple with a different topic, such as legal
issues or marketing, in a series of workshops that are designed to come
together to help the potential business person through the pitfalls
of starting their own business. Other topics include sales targets,
selling and approach; budgets, costs and break even analysis; market
research methods; cash flow forecast; profit and loss accounts and the
balance sheet.
“The Fingal County Enterprise Board is the first Enterprise Board
area in Ireland to offer this programme with FETAC-accreditation and
the ten workshops are designed around specific modules to prepare potential
entrepreneurs to set up and run their own business in the coming years,”
said a spokesperson for the FCEB. “Delivered by experienced tutors
in the LINC Centre at the Institute of Technology in Blanchardstown,
the costs of running the programmes are subsidised by FÁS and
participants pay just €300 in fees. On successful completion, participants
receive a €100 refund with their FETAC accreditation.”
This is the second ‘start your own business’ programme for
Dublin 15 in 2008 and, as competition for places is likely to be brisk,
potential applicants are advised to book online at www.fingalceb.ie.

This programme is not to be confused with the highly successful “Start
your own business” series of workshops run by Niall Comber of
Blanchardstown Area Partnership since 2006. These free workshops are
run from Dillon House in the Coolmine Industrial Estate.
In addition to organising and running these workshops, Niall can help
guide budding entrepreneurs through the steps required to turn their
idea into a business venture. Free confidential advice, support, mentoring
and guidance are available and provided to all considering self employment.
