Is Your Business Idea Viable? - From Idea to Opportunity: Develop and Validate Your Business Idea 

Do you have a business idea but aren’t sure if it could really work? This half-day workshop will help you develop your idea, identify the right customers and begin testing whether there is genuine demand.

Turn an early-stage idea into a clearer, stronger and more testable business opportunity.

This practical half-day workshop is designed to help participants explore, develop and test a new business idea before investing significant time or money in bringing it to market.

Whether you are considering starting your first business, developing a new product or service, or exploring a spin-off opportunity within an existing business, the workshop will guide you through the key steps involved in moving from an initial idea towards a more focused and commercially viable business model.
