Build your own business
This module provides an opportunity for you to start-up your own business within a supportive environment by implementing a developed business idea.
It may be that you are already running a part-time business or have a business idea and you would like to try and implement with support and already have a good understanding of business planning.
Activities could involve:
- creating a website
- making sales
- delivering events
- networking
- carrying out in-depth research
- creating social media marketing.
Even if you decide not to continue with the business idea, the knowledge and practical experience gained will equip you with entrepreneurial skills much sought after by employers.
Receive 1-1 mentoring
You will attend weekly 1:1 mentoring with the lecturer and specialist Business HotHouse staff.
Connection with ‘Entrepreneurship’ module
You can take this module alongside the Entrepreneurship module if you would like more guidance in developing an idea and business plan.
In this instance it will be like taking an entrepreneurship placement where your main focus in your final semester is developing and implementing your own business.
Assessment
Assessment is by implementation portfolio and professional discussion on how the idea is/not viable.
