📣 WHAT’S ON THIS WEEK AT LAUNCHPAD?

We’ve got two great sessions taking place this week, offering both specialist advice and essential business planning support. 🚀

💷 WEDNESDAY 9TH SEPTEMBER | ASK THE ACCOUNTANT
Our specialist one-to-one clinic gives Launchpad clients the chance to get tailored advice around areas such as tax, bookkeeping, self-assessment and Ltd Company structure.

This clinic has been incredibly popular, with our team contacting those who registered their interest to arrange individual appointments. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone who secured a slot on Wednesday!

💡 THURSDAY 10TH SEPTEMBER | MODULE 1: BUSINESS PLANNING
⏰ 12pm – 4pm

If you’re at the beginning of your Launchpad journey, this is a brilliant first workshop. We’ll help you get your ideas out of your head and into a clearer plan, looking at everything from your value proposition and customers to sales, resources, costs and more.

There’s still time to register for Thursday’s session, so if you can make it, grab your place and come join us!

When you’re running a business, it’s easy to think progress means more hours, more customers, more posts, more sales, more everything.

But sometimes the biggest difference comes from changing your approach.

💡 Learning a new skill.
💡 Getting a fresh perspective.
💡 Asking for advice.
💡 Finding a better way of doing something.
💡 Taking time to actually work on your business, not just in it.

That’s exactly where Launchpad can help.

Through free workshops, one-to-one support and practical business advice, we can help you step away from the day-to-day, look at things differently and work out what could move your business forward.

You don’t always need to do more. You might just need a different approach. 🚀

🌐 Does your business need a website that actually WORKS?

Whether you’re launching your first business, finally getting around to building a website or simply don’t know where to start, our upcoming Launchpad workshop is designed to take away the overwhelm.

Building a Business Website That Works will help you understand what your website really needs – from choosing the right platform and planning your pages to creating engaging content, understanding domains and hosting, and deciding whether to DIY or bring in a developer.

📅 Wednesday 14th October
⏰ 10am – 1:45pm
📍 Barnsley DMC

You’ll leave with a clearer plan, practical tools and the confidence to get your business online – or make your next website move. 💻✨

Spaces are limited and priority is given to registered Launchpad clients, so get booked on if you’d like to join us.

🎒 Bags packed. Pencil cases filled. Packed lunches are back…

For most of us, the school holidays are coming to an end – and after weeks of juggling business, work, childcare, days out and everything in between, September can feel like a bit of a fresh start.

So maybe it’s time to give your business that same back-to-school reset. 🚀

Perhaps you’ve had a business idea bubbling away all summer. Maybe your existing business has taken a bit of a back seat while you’ve survived the six-week juggle. Or perhaps you’re simply ready to get your head down and focus on that next stage of growth.

Whatever September looks like for you, reset, refocus and get going again.

And if you’d like some support along the way, Launchpad is here to help. 💡🚀

💜 Starting or growing a business isn't something you have to do alone.

Behind many entrepreneurs is a partner who listened to every idea.

A friend who shared your first post.

A family member who encouraged you when self-doubt crept in.

A mentor who helped you see things differently.

Or a community that reminded you to keep going.

Running a business can be incredibly rewarding, but it's even better when you have people cheering you on.

Today, we'd like to say thank you to everyone supporting a local business owner - whether you're offering advice, encouragement or simply believing in their vision.

Sometimes, those small acts of support make the biggest difference.

💬 Tag someone who's been part of your business journey. We'd love to celebrate them too.

Whether you're taking time to relax, spending it with family and friends or finding inspiration for your next business idea, we hope it's a great one!

Not with a big team.
Not with all the answers.
