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 .
