How to Start Your Own Social Enterprise Workshop

Want to know how to start your own social enterprise? This workshop will explain the social enterprise business model and how to make best use of free resources at Business & IP Centre Glasgow to support social enterprise start-ups, from researching business ideas and factsheets to market research and funding.

Resources covered include:

COBRA – An easy to use and clearly written database providing hundreds of small business idea guides as well as practical how-to factsheets. The guides cover everything from understanding legal structures to writing a business plan.

FAME – Provides financial and company information allowing you to research competitors and potential partners as well as create customised marketing and sales lists.

Funds Online – Database giving details of potential funds based on options such as type of organisation, location and beneficiaries.

This workshop will guide you through these resources and will also cover where to find external support for help with areas such as development, finance, learning, policy and networking.

You can also join us for a follow-up event delivered by two Glasgow City Council Social Enterprise Advisers who, between them, have over 35 years of experience delivering services to organisations within Glasgow., "Social Enterprises: Legal Structures and Start Up Funding".
