CELEBRATING WILTSHIRE ' S START-UPS
START-UP SEPTEMBER
Swindon & Wiltshire Start-ups win prizes every day from 1-30 September. Returning for its third year, we launch our Start-up September competition on Thursday September 1.
Start-up September is an incentive we came up with to celebrate our first birthday in 2014, with the idea of helping other new businesses get their ideas off the ground. Each day of the month, we will be raffling a prize on Twitter. The competition is aimed at companies that have started out in the last two years, with the idea to support them with products and services that they might not be able to afford, but would add real value to their business.
Start-ups should follow us on Twitter @ tbesw and tweet us with the hashtag # Iwanttowin. All participants will be entered into a daily draw pulled at 9pm each day.
Listed below is the fantastic selection of prizes that have been donated by more established Wiltshire firms. If there’ s something that would be of real benefit to your business, set an alarm in your diary now to ensure you enter on the day and are in with a chance of winning.
Business West, the South West’ s most influential business leadership organisation have donated 30 free spaces on their Swindon ' Business Planning and Finance’ workshop. Every day of September entrants have the opportunity to win a space on this one-day course providing practical advice on key areas, such as: creating a business plan, sourcing finance, managing cashflow and creating sales projections. To find out more about the workshops visit: www. businesswest. co. uk / swindonworkshops
