Join our small business clinic to answer all your business or start-up questions

If you run a small to medium sized business or are thinking of starting one, you’ll know that directing the majority of your time and resources into taking it forward is essential to success. But with other issues to think about including setting up systems, ensuring you have the right documentation, finding office space and reliable staff and marketing the business, it can be all too easy to get distracted from focusing on your company’s core strengths.

A report uncovered by BT Business last year, revealed that the government should give more support to UK small businesses. With hundreds of thousands of new businesses started every year, the people behind these start-ups should have a forum to consult for advice. For that reason, small business expert Mick Hegarty from BT Business is joining us for an exclusive web chat designed especially to help you get the most out of your business from the very start. Mick will be on hand to talk about the dos and don’ts of running your own business. He’ll also be dispensing expert advice about the best information and services that are available to help you maximise productivity and minimise wasting time fretting over nuts and bolts. Log in to the chat to find out how Mick’s inside knowledge can turn your small business into big news.

Mick Hegarty, Kate Welch from Acumen and John Dunsmure from the British Chamber of Commerce joins us live online at http://www.webchats.tv/chats/Business/howtohelpyoursmallbusiness/ on Wednesday 6th August at 13.30 to discuss making your small business a success
