Start Up Business Week 2024
Our third business week is just over a month away, and we have an exciting line up of business experts, successful local business owners and celebrity speakers to provide inspiration, business advice, encouragement and guidance!
With 12 events taking place across London libraries in the London Borough of Bromley, Royal Borough of Greenwich and Wandsworth Borough Council,we hope to engage as many entrepreneurs as possible and people with an interest in business. These events can be accessed in person, and via webinar or livestream, which will offer something of value to all aspiring entrepreneurs and current business owners. All of these events are fully funded (in part by UKSPF funding), which represents our desire and commitment to remove a number of barriers to entrepreneurship for people that either want to set up, grow or scale their businesses.
We also hope this event will enable businesses and entrepreneurs to make impactful connections, access useful information and advice, facilitate business growth and boost morale during these difficult economic times!
