The power of independence
MENTA supports you in your journey towards becoming your own boss. Designed by our experts specifically for aspiring entrepreneurs, our fully-funded Start-Up Training Programme covers the three core aspects of setting up and running a successful new business – business planning, marketing and sales, and bookkeeping.
The three-part programme is completely free for people living in Suffolk and Norfolk, and it is an essential first step in getting your business idea off the ground. But the opportunities for start-ups offered by us at MENTA don’t stop there. We provide information for financing your start-up and advice for securing funding, as well as 1-2-1 coaching and in-depth training to enhance your skills and take your new business to the next level.
Being a business owner is hugely rewarding and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
I'm interested in setting up my own business but didn't know where to start. A colleague recommended Menta and I'm so glad I took her advice. The three workshops were very informative and covered everything I felt I needed to know. The trainers, John and Shaun, brought their experiences to the sessions which made them come alive and included lots of useful tips. Lots of food for thought but I'm now feeling more confident about what I need to do next. Thank you

2 years agoI have always wanted to set up my own business but didn't have any idea how! Menta's three workshops for start up businesses are amazing and filled with all the information you need to know to start a business. The trainers, Jo and John, brought in their personal experiences to the sessions which was very inspiring and educating. I am a lot more confident about what to do next. Thanks a lot :)
