 This
training programme is based on the accumulated wisdom
from many internet resources plus personal business
start up experience.
The principles
of
trading are global although
of course local situations and opportunities for
business development will vary enormously between
countries and regions. However, wherever there are
communities of people there are needs for goods and
services and there will be opportunities to help meet
those needs.
We hope this preparation
programme will help you, wherever you are.
The programme is divided into
6 modules for personal study. Group Training materials
will be provided in Module 7. Please click on the
download links shown within each box to open the module

It is recommended all
relevant modules are completed as preparation
for starting a microenterprise,
or looking for employment |
You
will need to make a great commitment of your time,
effort and probably your money in starting up a
successful business of any sort.
It is therefore extremely important that you
spend as much time as you need to study the type of
business you want to start and then prepare a ‘business
plan’ – however small your enterprise might be,
this will be time very well spent.
We want you to succeed because successful businesses can
grow and those adopting a sound basis of good management
practice and strong ethical and relational guidelines,
will minimise risks of corruption and will be the
businesses
that will have the greatest growth potential.
We hope these training modules will guide you towards
making the best possible decisions for your enterprise
to enable you to generate sustainable
and worthwhile income for you and your family
We have kept the modules
as brief as possible and include links to provide
sources of
detailed information if you need more
