Couva in the media

A few months ago, I attended a fantastic event for budding entrepreneurs. Start-Up Saturday is a one-day business course for those looking to start their own business. Each month, the wonderfully enthusiastic Emma Jones covers the basics of what it takes to turn an idea into a successful business. 

By the end of the day, you'll learn about: 

• researching the market
• how to write a business plane
• the basics of using social media to your business's advantage
• marketing strategies
• and many other really useful things. 

I met a number of really great people, all with terrific business ideas, and I left feeling utterly inspired and energised about the prospect of being my own boss. Not bad for £30!! 

Information about registering is found at www.enterprisenation.com/events/startup-saturday-2012

Shortly after attending, I was contacted by one of Emma's colleagues who was interested in the Couva story. They have included Couva in a story about starting a business in Britain. 

Take a look!
