Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal.
A free seven-week course will help entrepreneurs in Harrogate get their start-up businesses off the ground.
Up to 30 places are available on the Strive course, run by York & North Yorkshire Growth Hub, City of York Council, Harrogate Borough Council, & Enterprise CUBE.
Beginning on Tuesday, October 4, it will offer a series of workshops and individual advice sessions and challenges, before giving out £2,500 of prizes at the end of the programme.
Topics will include creating a brand, taking payments, building an online presence, and dealing with the legal and tax requirements of setting up a business.
Laura Mumford, an award-winning entrepreneur from Enterprise CUBE, said:
“We’re finding more and more people are looking at other ways to make their own income through starting their own business.
“We’re seeing lots of people join our courses who want to start building a business now, to have some extra security, and extra income coming in.”
A free taster session takes place in the Minster Room at Harrogate Civic Centre on Tuesday, September 27 from 7-9pm. The course will run via Zoom.
