Starting your first business at age 50 or older | Lunch and Learn

Starting a business later in life isn't about starting from scratch – but starting from experience.

Yet many people over 50 find themselves held back because they have no idea where to begin.

In this practical Lunch and Learn, Mark Elliott, founder of Startup School for Seniors, shares insights from working with over 3,000 later-life entrepreneurs.

He'll lay out a clear, realistic approach to turning your experience into a viable business, and explain what actually helps people move from thinking about it to getting started.

This session is equally valuable for anyone who supports people aged 50 and over with going into entrepreneurship, including educators and programme leads.

Topics covered in this session

• How to build confidence and overcome the common fears that hold older founders back

• How to turn your life and work experience into a viable, realistic business idea

• A simple, step-by-step approach to starting a business

• What to focus on first (and what to ignore) in the early stages

• What Mark has learned from supporting more than 3,000 later-life founders – and how you can apply it
