Thinking about starting a CIC? This online workshop will take you through some of the most important financial aspects of this unique company structure, including the costs involved in setting up a Community Interest Company, where and how to get initial funding, how to pay yourself and others fairly and legally, and how being the director of a CIC interacts with claiming Universal Credit.

Can't attend live? The presentation section will be recorded and made available afterwards - but you'll miss the opportunity to ask questions about your specific situation, so do come along if you can!

This online workshop is about English law and will not cover any similar legal structures in other jurisdictions.

Our three-workshop series is perfect for budding or new entrepreneurs. Learn how to balance personal and business finances in the early days, the essential considerations when you're thinking about taking on staff, and the relationships and differences between budgeting, forecasting, bookkeeping and accounting.

We also offer a specialist session focusing on how to navigate starting a business when you are claiming means-tested or health-related benefits such as Universal Credit, PIP or Carer's Allowance.

Baffled by benefits? Our workshops will have you calculating entitlements like an expert in no time. One participant in our Universal Credit workshop told us that she left the session "with a sense of ease, finally understanding how Universal Credit works".

Developed by a benefits specialist who has successfully campaigned for changes to DWP policy, this training does not require mathematical genius or expert knowledge of the law. Whether you're grappling with your own entitlement to state support or trying to help your clients deal with theirs, our training will give you the knowledge and confidence you need.

We offer workshops and programmes for children and young people aged from 0 to 25, providing fun, creative and relevant money knowledge. Our StartSmart sessions for families of pre- and primary-school age children lay the foundations for financial success, while our SkintSmart and StartSmart Solo programmes focus on equipping teens and young adults with the skills and knowledge they need to live independently and keep themselves and their money safe.

Parents and carers can benefit from our training on getting help with the cost of childcare, covering everything from funded hours to the help available for families with no recourse to public funds, and everything in between.
