About this Event

If you're almost ready to start your business but not sure how to actually register it officially, then this event is ideal for you.



To get you off to the best start, we'll show you how you can get £50* on us! *T&Cs apply



If you're just thinking about starting a business, but not ready yet...

then this is a quick way to start planning. It's ideal for people who are just thinking about working for themselves and want to know how to register officially - great for freelancers, hobbyists, sellers on sites like Etsy/Vinted etc.

You'll learn all about starting a business so you'll know what to do when the time comes:

  • how to choose the right legal structure (Sole Trader / Partnership / Limited Company)
  • the advantages & disadvantages of each
  • about the registration process and legal obligations
  • meet the TEDCO Business Advisors who will be there to help you when you're ready



If you know you NEED to register as self-employed now...

so once you've listened to start-up advice (see 1 above), then you'll make arrangements to actually register your business with the support of the TEDCO Business Advisors.

Ideal for people who are ready to start such as:

  • self-employed drivers (such as Just Eat, Deliveroo etc)
  • construction workers who need to register as sub-contractors
  • private fitness trainers who are ready to take on personal clients
  • hairdressers, beauticians and nail technicians who are renting a chair in a salon.

Whether you're starting your business straight away or are still in the planning phase, there'll be handy hints and guidance to keep you on track as you progress your plans.

People accessing this support will be asked to take part in a brief phone-based diagnostic to ensure as much as possible is gleaned from the programme

Tea and coffee provided.

Free onsite parking and easy transport links.
