1-2-1 Business Advice
What is face to face support?
Sometimes you need someone you can trust to talk to. In business, having a personal advisor can make a huge difference, especially if you’re just starting out. Our Business Advisors are here to offer you that personal support through face to face meetings. We want to help your business grow!!
How does it benefit me?
Face to face meetings with a Business Advisor can:
- Clarify your business plan
- Give you reassurance and support
- Provide practical advice
- Provide advice on financing and development
- Give you access to valuable business contacts and knowledge.
- Signpost valuable resources
- Face to face business support is applicable for both start ups and developing businesses. For start ups, it can help you to set realistic and achievable targets. It can also help you source funding, or even find a location to set up your business.
For growing businesses, face to face support can help you to create a growth plan that will help you achieve your goals.
And...... it's FREE!!!!
