'JumpStart' workshops for business rookies

If the new year means starting a new business then seminars organised by Positively Wellington Business could be the first step.

An hour of free business advice is on offer to people with new business ideas at Positively Wellington Business' new weekly JumpStart workshops.

Positively Wellington Business business development manager Marie-Clair Andrews said "We're really really excited that we've had heaps and heaps of entrepreneurs get in touch with us and try and find out what they can do start their business, grow their business, get out of their day job and do something new and exciting."

Positively Wellington Business designed the workshops specifically for those at the very start of the business lifecycle.

Two business advisers will lead group discussion on funding options, training courses, and services offered by Positively Wellington Business.

The workshops will also provide the chance for new business owners to network with other businesses and make their first all-important business contacts.

JumpStart workshops start on January 29 at Positively Wellington Business Lambton Quay offices.
