Go Succeed Start

Go Succeed Start is the new go-to source for expert business advice led by Northern Ireland's eleven local councils.

It provides advice and guidance for people who have an idea for a new business and need help turning it into a reality.

If you’ve got a passion for owning your own business…if you’re currently running a side hustle from your kitchen table and think you could make a living from it (with some help)... or if you dream about working for yourself but are not sure how to go about it, Go Succeed Start is for you!

This part of the service focuses on providing you with a wide range of tools and the plans you need to get your business started.

Go Succeed Start’s dedicated mentors will work with you to create a tailored plan that best suits your business needs. We will also help you develop a business idea if you don’t have one yet. The mentor assigned to you will have a deep understanding of your business sector and area and you will have the opportunity to contact them at any stage for advice.

A host of learning materials will also be made available and you can attend any of our business masterclasses and events. We can also help you with applications for funding support (where applicable) to help your business progress.
