They will not support a failing
business just because… NYDA
will ensure success.
If an idea is deemed worthwhile,
it is time to call in the
experts. The voucher system is
an excellent way of getting real
expertise into it.
NYDA contracts business experts who will assist an applicant in getting
the business into something that might work. That means business
plans, financial projections, quotes and a host of things.
If the business gets started, the
mentorship programmes are there to
assist in ensuring the business stays
open. Who are the mentors? Business
people who have volunteered
their time to assist NYDA.
Now we are taking about people
who have done it. The people who know how to run a successful business.
Who can ask for more?
It is hard work. It is more than hard
work. It is 24/7 work.
Being an entrepreneur and helped
by NYDA requires first of all flexibility
of mind. The expert may tell you that
a certain aspect does not work. If you get stubborn and want to have
ego issues, you fail. They will drop you.
… but you can succeed if you are willing to listen and learn, because
…. They picked your idea because they think it can work!
