At these events, you will be able to connect with services and opportunities to explore self-employment and entrepreneurship
Ards and North Down Borough Council is encouraging potential entrepreneurs, who have thought about working for themselves or starting a new business, to attend a free roadshow event.
At the roadshows you will
- meet friendly advisors who understand the challenges people face and can guide you at your own pace
- learn about free support, training and funding that could help turn your skills or interests into an income

You don’t need a business plan, experience or even a clear idea to attend.
