This event is part of our Small Business Night School series where we are offering 8 sessions to help support you with your business.

These sessions have been chosen based upon feedback from our members and are all facilitated by experts in their field. Each one will have a workshop format with numbers capped at 25 to allow lots of opportunities to ask questions and discuss real life examples. Our aim is you should leave these sessions with some practical advice and a clear understanding of the way forward which is appropriate to you. You are welcome to attend all 8, or to simply pick those most relevant to your business. Each session will be held in October and repeated in November to enable you to select the date convenient for you. See details here.
