What this service helps with
People considering self-employment in Wexford need a structured way to test their business idea and readiness before committing.
About this support
Start a Business, published by LEO Wexford under Start or Grow your Business, sets out key questions for anyone considering starting their own business, including whether they have the necessary skills and experience, sufficient motivation, family support, and a realistic idea, and whether the business will be a start-up, buy-in, franchise or network marketing venture. It stresses the importance of assessing an idea's viability and lists further questions on why the idea is good, what assumptions it rests on, target customers, and points of difference from competitors already in the market. The page also lists entrepreneurial characteristics LEO Wexford looks for, including self-confidence, resilience, innovative skills, results orientation, professional risk-taking, total commitment and good management skills. A linked 10 Step Guide provides further detail on planning a new business.
