Programme Detail
New Frontiers is a three-phase programme that is designed to
provide an integrated and comprehensive set of business
development
supports to participants.
Phase 1 -Testing the business idea
The first phase will be part-time over an 6 week period and will
help you to validate the market potential of your business idea.
These
weekend and evening workshops will provide information and
general start-up training, allowing you to tease out your ideas
feasibility and
to see whether a viable proposition exists.
Phase 2 - Business Planning
Following a competitive selection process, committed
participants who have a strong value proposition and who can
demonstrate that their
business proposition has potential to grow and create jobs may
be offered a place on Phase 2.
If successful, you will receive intensive support for six months
to develop both your own skills and to work up your business
proposition.
This will entail full-time participation in workshops, mentoring
and regular reviews. Using these supports, you will fully detail
and validate
your business proposition and identify potential customers,
sales channels and funding options.
You must be available for full-time participation. To facilitate
this, you will receive up to 15,000 in funding subject to
satisfactory
development reviews (Income tax liability will be the sole
responsibility of the participant, and individuals are encouraged
to seek
professional advice on this).
The aim of this phase is to support you in your development of
an investor-ready business plan.
Phase 3 - Business Development
Businesses emerging from Phase 2 will be guided to the most
relevant government supports that can best help them at their
particular
stage of development. Further incubation facilities and support
may be available to participants for a limited period, in
conjunction with
ongoing support from the Incubation Centre Management team.
