Want to be your own boss? Commit 12 hours to our programme and see what the future holds.

The economy has faced some drastic changes recently, and with it, new opportunities have arisen for those feeling confident to make the leap. If you've found yourself considering a new venture, we can help you take positive steps towards self-employment.

Evolve with The Big House is a FREE support programme offering people the opportunity to learn the tools they need to branch out and get their own business up and running. Whether you want to brush up on the tools needed to win and retain new customers, or get mentoring to iron out your business plan, we can help with our dedicated 12-hour package of free support. We can help talk you through the stages you need to consider before committing to any spending. And if your business idea is ready to launch, we can provide you with the skills you need to get you off to a flying start.

Who can sign up to Evolve?

Anyone in the Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire area who is considering self-employment in the Creative or Digital sector can join the programme.

What's included in the 12 hours of support?

First up, you'll be invited to attend an informal chat on Zoom with Charlotte, our Business Engagement Manager to discuss your situation, and what you hope to gain from the programme.

Online workshops

Based on your needs, we'll then put together a bespoke package of online workshops and one-to-one mentoring to help get you on the right track, and ready to make your next step.
