Basics of Building a Business Seminars are back


.......... and better than ever!

We’re very excited about the new B3 seminars starting in October! The aim of the seminars is to encourage and help staff, students and members of the public who are interested in setting up their own business.

This year the sessions have got an exciting new format which will make them shorter and more interactive so you can get more out of them. The one hour sessions will run over eight weeks and will be a mixture of theory, case studies and group exercises. They will run first in Luton and then will be repeated in Bedford.

Each week we’ve got a different business expert coming in to talk about a different topic relating to setting up a business, including business idea formation and vision creation, company formation, defining the market, competitor analysis, developing products and services, building a team, costing and pricing, and raising investment.

B3 links directly into two University business competitions, the Business Concept Competition 2010 and the Business Plan Competition 2010. These have been designed to encourage people to use the knowledge they have gained during the B3 seminars to submit business ideas and plans.

Both the seminars and competitions are free, so if you are interested in setting up your own business make sure you come along to get some free expert advice! Remember they’re available to the public as well so pass the message on.

Sessions will run on Thursdays at 6.15pm, in Room J211, Vicarage Street, Luton campus from 14 October to 2 December 2010. They will then be repeated at the University’s Bedford campus, Room P2.04, Polhill Road, from 3 February to 7 April 2011.
