YOUR HEAD START

The people who already trust you.

Colleagues, suppliers, customers of past employers and the professional groups you belong to. A new business finds its first customers far more easily among people like these.

THREE DIRECTIONS TO START FROM

01

Specialist help for small firms

Project-based engineering help in the area you know best.

02

Exam and interview preparation

Courses for engineers preparing for licensing exams or technical interviews.

03

A small software tool

A focused tool that solves one problem you have watched people struggle with.

These are examples to show the pattern, not recommendations. Your own ideas will be built on what you type above. Check first: Check your employer’s rules on outside work and who owns what you invent, and any licence your work needs.
