Business Start Up Workshop

Generator, in association with Secret Sauce, are proud to present a special Business Start Up Workshop for new and pre-start creative businesses in the North East. The region is home to the second largest number of tech start-ups in the UK outside of London. Unfortunately these companies don’t always survive with reasons for failure being a lack of commercial knowledge, local support available and contacts.

This one day workshop, aimed at new businesses or anyone thinking about setting up a business in the creative or digital sector, will address the vital areas a new business needs to give them survival and growth skills.

They have assembled a number of deeply relevant and current digital and legal professionals who work in or with the digital and tech sectors to share their knowledge and experiences across a day of insight and interaction.

Sessions will include:

Keynote from Ross Linnett (Recite Me)
What type of business do you need to be? with Stephen Slater (RMT)
Legal matters with Alex Shiel (WardHadaway)
Running a successful business with Nevil Tynemouth (New Results Training)
Funding – what’s available and where to find it? with Damian Baetens (Transmit Start Ups)

Spaces at this event are priced at £149 per place, or FREE OF CHARGE for pre-starts or new creative/digital businesses from the North East of England (County Durham, Northumberland, Tees Valley or Tyne & Wear) thanks to ERDF funding.
