If small firms did not exist, it would be necessary to invent them” (The Bolton Report, 1971)
• Do you want to grow your business but just don’t know where to start?
• Do you need some inspiration and motivation from those that have been where you are, and are now highly successful in their businesses?
• Are you a small business struggling to keep your head above water in today’s highly competitive environment?
Running a small business can be hard. The day‐to‐day operations are often challenging and all‐consuming enough, so it’s of no real surprise that the thought of moving into a growth phase may often seem daunting and overwhelming.
This conference can help you!
Small Businesses -From Seedling to Success has been designed with you in mind.
Let this be your opportunity to meet others facing the same challenges, learn winning growth strategies from those who have been there and succeeded, and gain new insights into your own business
We will help you break down those barriers and get you thinking about where you want to go and how you are going to get there.
Our wide range of topics and speakers will motivate and inspire you to take the plunge into the next phase of your journey.
