A POPULAR business school will be offering free support at an event from tomorrow (Monday, January 17).

The Rebel Business School is coming to Cheshire to help potential start-ups kick start their business pursuits.

Cheshire’s future entrepreneurs will be offered free support from the organisation, which aims to prove that anyone can be successful in business.

Its free, online course, which previously has attracted more than 100 people, will be delivered via Zoom on January 17-28 from 10am until 3pm. 

It will cover all aspects related to running a business; from sales, marketing, launching websites and tax and legal considerations.

It will be led by successful North West entrepreneur Katie Coombes, who wants to help participants understand that anyone can launch a business, no matter what stage of life they are in or what their circumstances they find themselves in. 

She said: “There are so many ways to start a business. Whether you’re a maker, crafter, artist, coach or work in trades or beauty, food or fashion, then this course is for you. 

“We are here to help people develop their ideas and give them a boost if they’re feeling stuck. You don’t have to be the next Facebook - no business is too small to join.” 

She started her business venture off by selling handbags at a Christmas market and a temporary tattoos kiosk. 

She then agreed with Manchester City that she could run a face painting stall at its ground on match days. 

“I wasn’t even any good at face painting. I had to get other people to do it. But we went back every Saturday for months and then moved into other events.”

The Cheshire event is free to participants and is funded by sponsorships and Cheshire West and Chester Council and Chester West Let's Talk Business.
