5 REASONS WHY YOU’LL LOVE OUTSET ONLINE:

1. You can get learn from home, at your own pace

Outset Online is designed to be flexible so you don’t have to be. No matter what pressures are on your time, you can still get essential business support anywhere, any time – you just need access to the internet.

2. It helps you build a business plan that you can submit with your Start Up Loan application

As you complete a range of activities through each stage of the programme, you’ll create an exportable business plan that you can use to guide your decisions and as part of your Start Up Loans application.

3. There are multiple online business calculators to help you complete your financial plans.

As part of your application, you’ll need to submit a personal survival budget and  cash flow forecast. These online calculators  make this a little easier – particularly if you find financial documents a bit daunting!

4. It offers a range of downloadable guides and resources

You’ll have a stack of free resources at your fingertips as you complete the Outset Online programme, all designed to help refresh your memory on key business topics or learn new skills.

5. You can promote your business in the online business directory and connect with others in our user forms

Sometimes it helps to talk to others about what challenges they’re facing or ask for advice about how to approach a new situation, and Outset Online’s forums are a great way of going about this.
