Starting your own Business

Exploring Self-Employment as an Option

For participants interested in self-employment, Network Personnel offers tailored support to help explore whether this pathway could be right for them.

We recognise that starting a business can feel daunting, particularly for those who are new to self-employment or returning to the world of work.

Our approach is practical and supportive, helping individuals build understanding, confidence, and clarity around self-employment as a potential option.

Building Basic Knowledge and Business Skills

Our support covers key areas such as business planning, tax and basic bookkeeping, marketing, and building a business through social media.

We also provide guidance on legal and operational considerations, as well as support to explore and source start-up finance where appropriate.

Through one-to-one guidance and practical learning, we help participants develop the knowledge and skills needed to make informed decisions about self-employment.

Connecting You to Specialist Support

Where self-employment appears to be a suitable option, Network Personnel provides a supportive transition through a warm handover to specialist self-employment and enterprise services.

This ensures participants are connected to organisations that can offer more in-depth advice and ongoing support, while continuing to feel guided and supported as they move forward on their self-employment journey.
