Event Details
If you are working, studying, or even staying at home with kids, you may have dreamed of starting a company. However, you thought it would be impossible because you did not have the time, the money, or just plain simple, you cannot leave whatever else that you are doing.
Fear no further, it is possible to do it and many individuals have done it successfully for long periods of time, while attending to other work. So, if you are wondering how others get their companies going, come to our event on June 10th and get the real perspective on it!
We will have at least two entrepreneurs and one business adviser on our panel helping you understand all the nuances that go into creating and running a firm, while bootstrapped (with your own money).
