Next Steps: Free Business Advice and Support
Ar gyfer y disgrifiad Cymraeg, sgroliwch i lawr.
Have you recently graduated and wondered whether you could work for yourself?
Are you thinking about opening a shop, café, studio, salon or other high-street premises?
Have you got a business idea, side hustle or new opportunity, but you are not sure what to do next?
Next Steps is a free, informal business support event designed to help you find the advice, connections and direction you need to move forward.
📅 Thursday 24 September 2026
⏰ Drop in any time between 6pm and 8pm
📍 Twyn Community Centre, Caerphilly town centre
Practical advice, without the pressure
Starting or developing a business can feel confusing. You might have lots of questions, receive conflicting advice or simply not know which organisation you need to speak to.
Next Steps brings a range of business experts and support organisations together in one place, making it easier to find relevant advice and understand the wider support available to you.
There will be no presentations, formal workshop or expectation that you speak to everyone. Simply drop in, tell us a little about your idea or situation, and we will help direct you towards the people and support most relevant to you.
Depending on what you need, you could explore topics such as:
✨ Turning your skills, experience or qualifications into a business
✨ Testing whether your idea could work
✨ Freelancing and becoming self-employed
✨ Opening or growing a high-street business
✨ Finding and preparing for business premises
✨ Understanding your customers and reaching the right people
✨ Pricing, business planning and managing your money
✨ Funding and other business opportunities
✨ Finding mentoring, programmes and ongoing support
Who is it for?
We particularly want to hear from:
🎓 Recent graduates who are considering freelancing, self-employment or turning their skills and projects into something sustainable
🏪 Aspiring high-street business owners who are thinking about opening a shop, café, studio, salon, workshop or other customer-facing premises
💡 Anyone with a business idea who needs some practical advice or help deciding what to do next
You do not need a finished business plan, and you do not need to be ready to launch. You might have the beginnings of an idea, an existing side hustle, a business that needs its next chapter or simply a question you have not known who to ask.
Find your next step
You may leave with an introduction to a useful organisation, a clearer understanding of the support available or a practical action you can take straight away.
The aim is simple: to help you feel less stuck and more confident about what comes next.
Book your free place between 6pm and 8pm.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected] or call 02920 140 040.
Delivered by Welsh ICE in collaboration with Business Wales.
Camau Nesaf: Cyngor a Chymorth Busnes Am Ddim
Ydych chi wedi graddio’n ddiweddar ac yn meddwl tybed a allech chi weithio i chi’ch hun?
Ydych chi’n ystyried agor siop, caffi, stiwdio, salon neu fusnes arall ar y stryd fawr?
Oes gennych chi syniad busnes, busnes ochr neu gyfle newydd, ond dydych chi ddim yn siŵr beth i’w wneud nesaf?
Mae Camau Nesaf yn ddigwyddiad cymorth busnes rhad ac am ddim, anffurfiol, sydd wedi’i gynllunio i’ch helpu i ddod o hyd i’r cyngor, y cysylltiadau a’r cyfeiriad sydd eu hangen arnoch i symud ymlaen.
📅 Dydd Iau 24 Medi 2026
⏰ Galwch heibio unrhyw bryd rhwng 6pm ac 8pm
📍 Canolfan Gymunedol Twyn, canol tref Caerffili
Cyngor ymarferol, heb unrhyw bwysau
Gall dechrau neu ddatblygu busnes deimlo’n ddryslyd. Efallai bod gennych chi lawer o gwestiynau, eich bod wedi cael cyngor gwahanol gan wahanol bobl, neu nad ydych chi’n gwybod pa sefydliad y dylech siarad ag ef.
Mae Camau Nesaf yn dod â nifer o arbenigwyr busnes a sefydliadau cymorth ynghyd mewn un lle, gan ei gwneud hi’n haws dod o hyd i’r cyngor perthnasol a deall y cymorth ehangach sydd ar gael.
Ni fydd unrhyw gyflwyniadau, gweithdy ffurfiol na disgwyliad i chi siarad â phawb. Yn syml, galwch heibio, dywedwch ychydig wrthym am eich syniad neu’ch sefyllfa, a byddwn yn eich cyfeirio at y bobl a’r cymorth mwyaf perthnasol i chi.
Yn dibynnu ar yr hyn sydd ei angen arnoch, gallech gael cyngor ar bynciau fel:
✨ Troi eich sgiliau, eich profiad neu’ch cymwysterau yn fusnes
✨ Profi a oes potensial i’ch syniad weithio
✨ Gweithio ar eich liwt eich hun a dod yn hunangyflogedig
✨ Agor neu dyfu busnes ar y stryd fawr
✨ Dod o hyd i eiddo busnes a pharatoi ar ei gyfer
✨ Deall eich cwsmeriaid a chyrraedd y bobl iawn
✨ Prisiau, cynllunio busnes a rheoli eich arian
✨ Cyllid a chyfleoedd busnes eraill
✨ Dod o hyd i fentora, rhaglenni a chymorth parhaus
Ar gyfer pwy mae’r digwyddiad?
Rydym yn awyddus i glywed gan:
🎓 Raddedigion diweddar sy’n ystyried gweithio ar eu liwt eu hunain, hunangyflogaeth neu droi eu sgiliau a’u prosiectau yn rhywbeth cynaliadwy.
🏪 Darpar berchnogion busnesau ar y stryd fawr sy’n ystyried agor siop, caffi, stiwdio, salon, gweithdy neu eiddo arall sy’n wynebu cwsmeriaid.
💡 Unrhyw un sydd â syniad busnes ac sydd angen cyngor ymarferol neu help i benderfynu beth i’w wneud nesaf.
Nid oes angen cynllun busnes gorffenedig arnoch, ac nid oes angen i chi fod yn barod i lansio. Efallai mai dim ond dechrau syniad sydd gennych, busnes ochr sydd gennych eisoes, busnes sydd angen pennod newydd, neu gwestiwn nad ydych wedi gwybod pwy i’w ofyn.
Dod o hyd i’ch cam nesaf
Efallai y byddwch yn gadael gyda chysylltiad â sefydliad defnyddiol, gwell dealltwriaeth o’r cymorth sydd ar gael, neu gam ymarferol y gallwch ei gymryd ar unwaith.
Mae’r nod yn syml: eich helpu i deimlo’n llai sownd ac yn fwy hyderus ynghylch yr hyn sy’n dod nesaf.
Archebwch eich lle am ddim rhwng 6pm ac 8pm.
Os oes gennych unrhyw gwestiynau, e-bostiwch [email protected] neu ffoniwch 02920 140 040.
Cyflwynir gan Welsh ICE mewn cydweithrediad â Business Wales.
