Go Set Up programme

Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames
If you are thinking about starting a business, the Go Set Up programme will help you with planning, getting set up, marketing, funding and finance.
It will provide advice and guidance from a team of experienced start-up advisers who will detail the key foundations of a successful and sustainable business.
Who is this programme for?
This programme is aimed at pre-start-ups:
- participants who want to start a business and are already taking steps to do so
- participants who are transitioning from a current business into a new start-up
- participants wanting to move back into the workforce
What does the programme offer?
A series of Go Set Up workshops will be run by a qualified business adviser and cover the core essentials of how to set up a business, including:
- business objectives
- the market and marketing
- legal aspects
- set-up costs
- pricing
- financial forecasting
- relationships to banks/funding
After each workshop, the participants will be introduced to the Go Set Up Business Model Canvas (BMC) and provided with guidance on its completion. The Business Model Canvas is a business tool used to visualise, on a single page, all the building blocks that need to be considered if you are starting a business. Participants who complete their BMC will be offered an online review of their submission by a qualified business adviser.
