Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Birmingham is pleased to be hosting Doug Richard’s ‘Start Here! Starting and Growing a Successful Business’ masterclass.

About the event
Doug will be delivering an interactive seminar, incorporating ‘live’ on the day delegate case studies, video examples, lectures, and Q&A sessions. He will provide an insightful introduction to how to succeed in business and address the essential questions that entrepreneurs should ask themselves before investing time and money into an idea:

  • How to write the perfect business model
  • How to identify your product and your market
  • How to start an affordable marketing campaign to increase your sales leads
  • How to treat the recession as an opportunity, rather than a threat
  • How to make money and secure investment

Come and be entertained, inspired and coached by Doug Richard for a day!

Students and recent graduates can register their interest in the programme on the day. BEES is the University of Birmingham’s student enterprise society, a network of enterprising students and would-be entrepreneurs.
