Ararat Jobs and Technology Precinct will host Business Victoria’s Starting Your Small Business workshop next month.

The free three-hour workshop aims to help small business owners and entrepreneurs wanting to build a solid base for their business.

The workshop will teach participants how to set up a business, including choosing and registering a business name, and selecting a shopfront, office or online platform.

The session will guide participants through the process of creating a business outline to help showcase their products or services, and a step-by-step action plan to guide their business from idea to launch.

The workshop will also discuss the importance of business insurance and how to select the right coverage.

Business Victoria’s Duncan Vincent – who has nearly 30 years’ experience as a business development professional, trainer, facilitator, coach, franchisor and business owner – will facilitate the event.

Mr Vincent has facilitated workshops and training programs in Australia and 11 countries in South Asia with a focus on generating cash flow, customer service, recruitment, staff development, online business and resilience.

The workshop will be at the Ararat Jobs and Technology Precinct, 3/5 Laby Street, Ararat on Tuesday, April 1 from 6pm to 9pm.

People interested in attending are required to register online via the council’s website at www.ararat.vic.gov.au/business-support.
