Business support on the high street: Week one done and dusted!


Posted: Fri 7th Aug 2015
The first week of our business support on the high street initiative has come to an end after top advisers shared their expertise with some brilliant entrepreneurs in West Sussex.
The advice hub was set up in Pop Up Horsham, a temporary store for retail start-ups, and kicked off our project which also visits Birmingham, Manchester, London and Bristol over the next month.
Advisers from the Enterprise Nation Marketplace kindly volunteered their services to provide guidance to entrepreneurs looking to grow their businesses. You can see videos featuring some of the advisers and entrepreneurs below.
Viola Woolcott, founder of Raw Passion, was one of those who benefited from free advice. We asked her what tips she received and she said: "The order and sequence of what I need to do next, or shall I say first. My list was long and in the wrong order. I have ticked off two things now which are sorted, done and off my mind."
The next stop on our support tour is the Post Office on Pinfold Street in Birmingham on 10-14 August where another group of experts will be on hand to help local business owners. Register for your free place here.
Among the subjects up for discussion in Birmingham will be leadership, recruitment, marketing and finance.
On Wednesday 12 August experts from our supporter Simply Business will also be available all day to tell you everything you need to know about business insurance. Simply Business will be providing this service every Wednesday at each of the pop-ups.
See you in one of the pop-ups!
