Hi,

 

I work within a Sheffield Council-led programme called 'BiG - Make it Your Business'. This new business development initiative aims to provide tailored support specifically to people from Sheffield's regeneration (or 'Closing the Gap') areas who have an interest in setting up a business.

 

My role (as a Neighbourhood Enterprise Champion) is as a first point of contact and continued support for those with an interest in self employment to work through/overcome socio-economic barriers, enabling them to develop their ideas into successful, sustainable enterprises. A large part of what I do is connecting people's ideas with the right opportunities - from specialist business advice to the right training and information as well as advice on accessing finance.

 

For more information, call the 'BiG' team on 0800 043 5522 or see the website thebigwebsite.org.uk

 

Hope you found this info useful - Rob.

If you are looking to set up, there is loads of support and advice available. It sounds as if you might need to refine your idea a bit, though I know it can be difficult to describe at first.

A basic grasp of English is always a good start I think.

Why would anyone need someone to come in and do what you've just described? To be honest I don't see why they would bother as you appear to have trouble spelling the word 'know'.

Without having a dig about your spelling - do you think there is a demand for the service you intend to provide?

 

My advice would be to put a bit more thought into what you actually want to do, and how you can make a profit from it - maybe put it down on paper and eventually come up with a business plan (there are templates available on line to get you started)

 

When you have a firmer idea, you may want to get help from someone to put together you final draft of your plan just to make sure its laid out correctly with all the relevant info, and the spelling and grammar is correct (seems pedantic, but it goes a long way).

 

Once you have a firm plan you can start to think about you next steps.

I strongly recommend BIG, they helped me with settng up my house and office clean business in February of this year! The advice they give and support afterwards is amazing, i can honeslty say they ave given me the motivation and encouragement to go and my business is climbing the ladder of success! I'm even starting to advertise for staff within the next few weeks and this is all down to the BIG team, giving me the confidence and advice to goforward and to not give up. It's hard work keeping on top of it all, but well worth it with BIG behind you all the way! Good Luck Princess x x

It isnt very nice nor is it necessary to pick on folk with poor spelling, not least if English inst their first language if that is the case here.

 

Many people start and run a business with poor spelling, grammar, etc, whether its down to language issues or dyslexia or just didnt do as good at school as others, certainly it need not stop someone becoming successful in business. OP just needs help from the right people.
