Have you ever dreamed of running your own business or thought about working for yourself?  Go for it!

Starting your own business is a big step.  Before you decide, you need to make sure your idea is viable and that your business model is sustainable. We have the experience and advice you need to turn an aspiration or idea into a successful and profitable business.

The Go for it programme is a NI wide programme designed for people thinking about starting a business and is delivered by Down Business Centre on behalf of Newry, Mourne and Down District Council.

Down Business Centre has helped hundreds of people explore the potential for setting up their own business and successfully guided them through the process of doing so.

Self-employment is not the easy option, it takes lots of planning. You need to think about many things including sourcing funding and whether there is a gap in the market.
