Build A Business GM

Thinking about starting or growing a business?

You might not realise it, but every year libraries help thousands of people take their first steps towards building a business — and Build A Business is where that journey begins.

Running all year across Greater Manchester libraries, Build A Business offers practical, hands‑on support to help ideas grow into something real. Get access to:

Workshops that build confidence, skills and momentum
Opportunities to connect with other local entrepreneurs and business owners
One‑to‑one advice to explore challenges, ideas and next steps
Free library resources that support research, planning and development

Whether you’re shaping an idea or growing an established business, Build A Business exists to help you move forward — with support that’s local, welcoming and designed to last.

As part of Festival of Libraries week, Build A Business will be hosting drop‑in sessions at libraries to support local entrepreneurs, start‑ups and aspiring business owners, as well as workshops and networking events.
