Is the 9-5 grind getting you down? Do you dread leaving home and spending another day in the office? 

There is another option for anyone wanting a change of direction or a different career – setting up your own business.

For some it may be the possibility of working from home; for others the chance to make a livelihood out of their passion or interest.

No one is claiming its easy being an entrepreneur, but thanks to Start Up Croydon – a Croydon Business Venture, there is help for anyone looking to go it alone.

As the accredited Enterprise Agency for Croydon, it has helped more than 10,000 start-ups get off the ground, across the whole spectrum of industries and sectors, creating employment for many thousands of people throughout South London and beyond.

Budding entrepreneurs can take advantage of the very best training and support programmes which can help your business secure funding, avoid common pitfalls and share best practice through regular networking opportunities.

Start Up Croydon’s advice on business planning and developing business skills ensure clients have a realistic understanding of the way of life, which accompanies self-employment; such as the impact of working 50-60 hours a week can have on personal lives and relationships.

These are addressed through a monthly half-day business seminar and a monthly Three-Day New Business Programme. The latter seminar covers all aspects of running your own business.

The three day course costs just £20 and can be booked here (http://startupcroydon.co.uk/events/)

A separate but related activity is the provision of affordable office space at Weatherill House Business Centre and Park House Central in Croydon.

Services reception, switchboard, photocopying, fax and security, for a fixed monthly charge, and with no long-term obligation.

Working for yourself and being your own boss need not be a pipedream. Find out how you can make your business dreams a reality at www.startupcroydon.co.uk
