Navigating the Realities of Starting a Business

Do you or people around you have a great business idea but don’t know where to start? or maybe you’ve already started something and feel stuck. You want to register your business but don’t know the process, or you’re struggling to understand how to access financing to start or grow what you’ve begun. You’re not alone!

Many aspiring entrepreneurs face these same challenges: limited information, confusing bureaucracy, and a lack of guidance on where to go or who to ask. This weekend session is designed specifically for you, to help you gain the right insights and confidently navigate the pros and cons of starting your own business. Starting and growing a business requires more than just passion; it takes knowledge, planning, and persistence. Many young people and women in Ethiopia have brilliant ideas but face barriers such as complicated registration procedures, limited access to finance, and a lack of clear direction on how to sustain their ventures.

This session provides step-by-step guidance on navigating startup bureaucracy, understanding microfinance options, managing limited budgets, and creating strategies to make small businesses thrive.

Upon completion of this seminar, you will:

  • Understand where and how to begin their business journey
  • Get practical guidance on business registration and legal compliance
  • Learn accessible financing options, including microfinance, cooperatives, and government programs
  • Explore tools and strategies to make their small businesses thrive in the long term
