24.01.2022 We've just arranged our first Microenterprise Development Workshop for 2020! We currently have 3 spaces available for anyone who has an itching idea just waiting to be launched! These workshops are run by Renae Hartmann with your attendance funded by 121 Inc. These workshops are designed for people living with disabilities who have an idea or a much-loved hobby that may like to turn in to a microenterprise. The workshops run over a day covering things like market testing, advertising, identifying risks and business planning. One of the perks of the workshop is creating a support network of other microenterprises. If you're not sure if this is right for you, drop us an email, message or call us - we love a chat!
