All speakers have been working with a wide range of business owners for many years taking them from start-up stage to floating them on Aim and/or the full list, in all cases helping them grow, helping them access to funds and ensuring they have the right employment documents in place to protect their business.

Those attending the event can expect to pick up practical tips for running a successful business including how to get ready for investment, keep your house in order, the importance of having essential documents in place before employing people, how to access grants and funds, the different types of tax relief that are available including capital allowances, an outline of VAT, share structures and family tax planning.
