Have a business idea but not sure where to start? We help new businesses take their ideas from paper into practice. Join our business seminar for start-ups and get the tools, knowledge, and confidence to bring your idea to life.
This course is suitable for those with a business idea they wish to progress, through to those who have been in business for six months. We will take you through all the various aspects that need to be considered including: Market research, cash flow forecast, tax, national insurance, VAT, making tax digital, marketing, business names, bookkeeping, insurance, social media and websites, closing with an introduction to your business plan.
The one day workshop is delivered by an experienced business mentor, in a friendly manner, allowing you to get as many questions answered as possible. You will be spending a day with other like-minded people, embarking on the same journey, with the opportunity to network and share knowledge.
When starting in business you have to wear many hats, some fit well and others need adjustment. Come along and find out which areas you might need help with.
This course will be held at Goddards Brewery, Arreton – lunch and hot drinks will be included in the £16 course fee.
This course is available for non-members.

New for 2026! Next-Gen Networking
IW Chamber is launching an exciting new form of networking for 2026.
If you’re under 35, in business, and interested in personal and professional growth while building your network, this one’s for you.
Join us at Quay Arts for our first U35s networking event — a free, informal opportunity for young people in business to connect, share ideas, and build meaningful relationships.
For this first event, we’re keen to involve as many young professionals as possible. Your input will help shape how this network develops and how we can best support you to grow and progress.
At IW Chamber, we believe networking isn’t just for established business leaders. It’s just as important that the next generation of business professionals has the opportunity to build strong networks and connections too.
