Start Your Own Business

Aspire Foundation, is working with a network of the capital’s homeless charities and social housing providers to offer an alternative way out of unemployment. A series of courses have seen numerous new businesses launch with dozens of individuals gaining experience and skills.

The course is given by successful entrepreneurs with real life experience of starting and running a business. The course covers: researching your market, raising money to start your business, where to run your business from, starting up legally (red tape), who to ask for help, information, finance and support, business planning, sales and marketing, alongside managing the risks.

For more information about the course please take a look at the course leaflet.

Want to Start a Business?

Perhaps you’ve had a hobby or interest you think you could turn into a business, or maybe you’ve been working for others for a long time and want to be your own boss…or perhaps you’ve had a long period without employment and are struggling to get a chance to prove you can work…

There are many reasons that starting a business can make sense.  If you are interested in finding out about our next courses please click here.

Want to help people start a business or commission a course for your organisation?

To date we have successfully delivered the programme either as short courses or a full training and support programme with; Affinity Sutton, Genesis Housing, Amercus Horizons and homeless charities.  The evaluations of all these partnership programmes have shown amazing results, and we are always keen to hear from other organisations about extending this work.
