Q
How do I start a business in Newcastle with no savings?
A
Start lean — validate your idea before spending anything. Look into North East startup grants for minority-led businesses, speak to the Newcastle NE1 Business Forum, and reach out to our business mentors through the mentoring programme.
Q
Is university the right path if I want to run my own business?
A
It depends on your industry and goals. Our mentors include both graduates and school leavers who have built successful businesses. Connect with us to hear their stories first-hand at one of our events.
Q
How do I deal with feeling like I don’t belong in professional spaces?
A
You do belong. Your perspective, background, and experience are an asset — not a disadvantage. Communities like Asians of the North exist precisely to make professional spaces more reflective of everyone in them.
