READY SET GO

Want to get serious about your business idea? In partnership with Xero, we’re running three info nights designed to take you through the next steps – from concept to reality.

Ready Set Go - Info events for start up businesses

Starting at 5.30pm, one of our speakers will have five minutes per topic (minimum 7 topics per evening) to cover the basics. Then there’ll be a full Q&A session afterwards so you can glean answers from our experts that relate to your individual business.
