Setting up Your Own Business

Ever thought of starting up on your own? Do you have a fabulous idea but don’t know where to start, and how? This is a thought that runs through many of our minds at one point in time. Very few of us take the bold step and risk it all for something we feel passionately about.

PtMSis Setting up Your Own Business February 2020 Invitation

Date: Saturday 29th February 2020

Time: 14:00 – 17:00

Location: Triton Cafe

Ever thought of starting up on your own? Do you have a fabulous idea but don’t know where to start, and how? This is a thought that runs through many of our minds at one point in time. Very few of us take the bold step and risk it all for something we feel passionately about.

Starting up your own business is a huge and serious undertaking, not one for the light-hearted. It requires a great deal of hard work, passion, drive and one must be visionary.

On Saturday 29th February a panel of sisters will share their experiences of setting up their own companies. What worked? What could have been done better? What challenges and opportunities were out there? What are the benefits?

Mehak, Jennifer and Faizā took the bold step to start their own businesses. They will each share their experiences and discuss the common lessons learnt as a panel before opening out to the audience.
