Getting Started in Business Workshop Series

Have a business idea or thinking about starting your own venture?

The Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale, in partnership with CRC, invites you to join our “Getting Started in Business” workshop series.

This practical three-part program is designed to help you build strong foundations, gain clarity, and set your business up for success from the very beginning.

Workshop 1: Blue Sky Thinking, Your WHY & Your Business Plan

Begin by exploring your business idea and the motivation behind it. This session will guide you through defining your purpose, values, and early planning considerations. You’ll also cover branding basics and start developing the key building blocks of your business plan.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of:

• The problem your business solves

What You’ll Gain

Across the three interactive workshops, you will:

• Work through practical activities
• Start developing your business foundations
