What is the Start Up Academy?
Each Start Up Academy group contains 6-12 business owners at a similar stage in their business journey. We define start up businesses as anything from pre start - you are welcome to join us before you start trading - to two years old. After two years, we would recommend that you move to one of our Resilience Zone groups.
Each month we meet via Zoom and share ideas, experience and expertise. Every member has the opportunity to share their current state of play, before two selected members talk about a headache that is causing them problems. We collectively help them come up with solutions. Finally, we have a Learning Zone, that will help you to better run your business.
The Start Up Academy is an open ended commitment, with an investment of £45 per month, although the first two meetings are always free of charge, because we want you to be sure it’s right for you before you make a commitment. Call us or use the contact form for more information.
“I have had no hesitation in referring my clients to Gareth, he has always provided excellent care and advice to my clients. I have seen him take that diligence and genuine desire to help people achieve their goals, and apply it in several different settings. Gareth is a good listener, an excellent planner and able to adapt to different clients' needs.”
