Centre for Enterprise Supporting Macmillan Coffee Morning!

Charity events are a great way to get the creative juices flowing - or in our case, the mixing bowls out!

Friday 30th September saw the Enterprise Champions join their fellow Centre for Enterprise members in a charity coffee morning. The event is run every year to raise money for Macmillan Nurses. You can find out more about the charity here http://coffee.macmillan.org.uk/Home.aspx

Monthly Business Group - September

You may think that tax has nothing to do with starting a new business or that is just too dull to think about. Well think again. At the September Monthly Business Group Declan Slattery from the Manchester Office at HM Revenue and Customs talked a room of budding entrepreneurs through the basics of tax and we learned that it has a lot to do with starting a new business. From basic book keeping to self-assessment Declan showed us that tax does not have to be taxing! This month we were joined by budding entrepreneurs wanting to start businesses as diverse as marketing to product design.  You don’t  need to have a business idea to attend, simply turn up and join in. We look forward to meeting you in October.
