Business Startup show…for more than just startups

without comments

It’s Business Startup Show time again… and we’ll be there Thursday and Friday this week (20/21 May) doing more than we’ve ever done to get out and about to talk with small businesses about their needs and opportunities for the future.

Business opportunities and challenges

At previous shows, we’ve heard a lot about the opportunities and challenges that businesses face. Business planning and cash flow are always top of mind with young business.

We’ll be talking about these and other business challenges at the show. And we’ve got loads going on to help you get your business off the ground.

Free CRM and business planning workshops

We’re doing something slightly different this time around. First off, we’re running some dedicated workshops at the show – Business Planning and CRM – so you can come along and take part in an interactive session with some of our experts. And after all that walking around we’ll make sure you get a comfy seat!

Small business research

Secondly, if the thought of a seat appeals for half an hour or so then you can also take part in our small business research that we’re running whilst at the show. Register your interest in our small business research if you’d like to help shape the future of our software and services for small businesses – there’s even a free coffee and a little incentive on offer! It would be great to hear your views.

Business software for start-ups

We’ll also be there with a couple of traditional stands… but I promise you won’t get heckled from the aisles! If you want some more ideas about what you can find out then here’s a few:

  • Sage Planning for Business – Free business planning software that helps you evaluate, plan and launch your new business
  • Sage Invoicing – Free invoicing software that gets you up and running using software to manage your incoming revenue

  • ACT! by Sage – get a demo of the world’s favourite contact management software and learn why CRM is vital for your business

Free business seminars

And if this isn’t enough, some of our experts will be taking part in free business seminars, such as:
