The Greenhouse has organised another fantastic event! On October 11th we are running “Business Camp 09“!

The event is held in the Absolute Hotel in Limerick starting at 10 am and running until 5 pm.

The Greenhouse Business Camp is an free “unconference” for people who are self-employed, starting their own business or thinking about starting their own business. The current economic circumstances have clearly indicated that there is no such thing as a “job for life”. Even the biggest of companies are failing, the financial institutions are in tatters and the public sector is facing mass redundancies. The result of this is that for a lot of people there is only one logical course of action: to start their own business. Once again the SME sector proves to be the backbone of the economy.

Of course there are a lot of pitfalls & unknowns to starting your own business. Besides the financial risks there are legal & fiscal issues. How & where do you find customers? What is the best way to market your product or service? Who can help me and how do you approach them?

Greenhouse Business Camp will provide you with answers to all these questions and more. Not through boring talks and Life-coaching sessions but by meeting and talking to people who have gone through the process of setting up a business (some several times even).  All this will take place in an informal setting. No long droning lectures, no ties & suits, just lots of good relevant information and helpful people.
