The Explore It programme offers support to women who are at the pre-start (idea stage) or early stage of trading in their business.
Support will be delivered over a 4 month period allowing time to action some of the programme learnings. Training will address a wide range of business start up issues and help to build confidence and grow business skills.
There will be 3 Explore It programmes across Northern Ireland.
With 15 participants on each programme - as an important part of the Yes You Can ethos is to enable participants to build a peer group for brainstorming of brilliant ideas and sharing in support with like minded women.
If you have a business idea, and may have carried out some research, but you are not sure if it is viable or how to go from idea to trading
If you have received some support with your business idea (e.g attended the Go For It programme) but you need more help to secure your first sales
If you have had some sales but it is low level (hobby/side hustle) and your vision is to create a full time business
If you are trading less than a year and sales levels are still very low and you need to review your idea and develop your sales and marketing
