Starting a business, or recently launched? Book a free 30-minute Business Basics one-to-one session in Oxford.

This practical, in-person session is for people who are exploring a business idea, testing an offer or taking their first steps as a new business owner.

Bring your questions, ideas or current challenges. Together, we can help you identify your most useful next steps across the essentials of starting and running a business, including:

Clarifying what you offer and who your customers are

Testing your idea and starting conversations with potential customers

Choosing a trading structure and understanding basic responsibilities

Organising income, costs, invoices and tax planning

Developing a simple online presence and ways for customers to contact you

Building confidence, routines and straightforward business systems

Finding further workshops, webinars and support

You do not need a finished business plan or a polished idea. This is a friendly opportunity to talk things through, spot gaps and leave with clearer priorities.

Spaces are limited and must be booked in advance.
