About this Event
Business Start Up - Roots and Shoots
Roots and Shoots is The Growing Club's 7-month start-up course, for women ready to start a small business.
The purpose of Roots and Shoots is to:
*Take women through a systematic programme of starting a solid, sustainable business.
*Equip participants with the skills to run a sustainable small business
*Ensure systems are in place to make things run as smoothly as possible from day one
*Provide peer support to break the isolation, build confidence and provide accountability
Most small businesses fail in the first two years because the business owner does not have business skills to support their good idea.
Our start-up course addresses that problem to ensure participants have the skills and the support they need to launch and grow a sustainable business.
On completion of the course you will be matched with a mentor, another woman in business, for support and accountability, for a further 12-months.
