City Business Clinics
Do you run your business or does your business run you?
In the daily challenge of running a business it's often difficult to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Just when you should be keeping your eye on the future, the day-to-day challenges take your time and attention away from your vision and plans.
It's so easy to get caught up working in your business, not on your business.
Brighton & Hove Chamber of Commerce, Brighton & Hove City Council and Business Link have put together a series of city business clinics. These are designed to offer you a time and a place away from your business to talk over your business concerns, with an independent expert.
These free clinics have been designed to provide local enterprises with a face-to-face review with an experienced Business Link adviser. During the session the adviser will share information and ideas to develop an action plan that will help you progress towards your business goals. You can discuss finance, sales & marketing, staffing, operations or regulatory requirements -- whatever is causing concern at the moment. And if you need specialist help or support, the business adviser can help you find that too.
The clinics are being held at Kings House, Brighton & Hove City Council Offices on the first Tuesday and Thursday of every month. Each session will last an hour so that your time away from your business will be kept to a minimum. Four slots are available during that day.
These City Business Clinics are open to any business, limited or sole trader, that has been in operation for more than two years.
Places for these clinics are limited and booking is essential.
For more information and to book a slot for an independent look at your business, please call Business Link on 0845 6009006. Quote 'Brighton & Hove clinics'.
Next Dates: 5th and 7th August 2008
