We are partnering with GM Business Growth Hub to offer 2 fully funded courses to support LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs and small business owners in Greater Manchester.

We have secured a small amount of funding through GM Business Growth Hub’s EnterprisingYou team to offer two courses to LGBTQ+ business owners in Greater Manchester:

  1. Overcoming barriers to your business from a queer perspective | half day – Monday 21 October – 10.30am-1.30pm
  2. Becoming a key LGBTQ+ person of influence | Monday 4 November – 9.30am -4pm

Both courses are excellent, and we’d highly recommend them.

You have to sign up to each individually via the Hub’s Eventbrite, but you can attend both.

Eligibility

  • Your company must be registered in Greater Manchester or you must live in Greater Manchester.
  • You must have a micro-business (no more than 10 staff). Freelancers and sole traders are welcome.

Registration process

Using the following links, you will register your interest on Eventbrite. You will then be contacted by a member of the GM Business Growth Hub’s team for a conversation. You will then be asked to sign something online saying that you agree to sign up as a business for the EnterprisingYou Programme. You will then register for this course.

Please note that GM Business Growth Hub might offer you other courses that they think would benefit you. They will also create a waiting list if you can’t attend these courses.

A maximum of 14 people can attend each course, so be quick. Register your interest here:

  1. Overcoming barriers to your business from a queer perspective | half day – Monday 21 October – 10.30am-1.30pm
  2. Becoming a key LGBTQ+ person of influence | Monday 4 November – 9.30am -4pm
