Event description

So you've had the idea, done your research and confident that you can turn it into a successful business... but what next?

At this workshop Mark Twum-Ampofo will talk you through the essentials of setting up a business, taking you along a timeline from initial conception to a successful young company. He will discuss topics such as structuring your business; dealing with the administration of running a company; taking on your first contractors and employees; dealing with VAT and other taxes; granting share options; and taking in funding.

Get the basics right from the beginning and it will leave you free to concentrate on developing your idea.
