Our services are targeted at the needs of small and start up businesses. We also deliver services for other organisations with a similar target audience. We’re flexible and will tailor make our offer to suit your needs and budget. An initial consultation is FREE, contact us to arrange yours.
Our training courses invariably get great feedback. We believe that training should be relevant, interesting and fun so our courses use lots of participation and real life examples to ensure that learning takes place.
We specialise in start up, business planning, marketing, market traders, customer service and selling courses. We also run leadership and management, team building, recruitment and selection, job seeking, training and development, presentation skills and mentoring courses. We deliver training, on behalf of Hounslow Adult and Community Education, for the technical certificate in Business Administration levels 2 and 3 as part of Hounslow Council's apprenticeship training programme. All our courses can be offered on an in house or open basis and tailored to your precise needs.
Our training varies in style and length from short, snappy sessions suitable for lunch and learn, breakfast or dinner meetings, through half day seminars to full blown courses lasting a day or more. Our business workout sessions are short focussed sessions for owners of small and start up businesses. See our current programme for details.
Our marketing services are geared to the needs of small businesses. We can provide guidance and support to develop and implement a marketing plan to suit the needs of your business. We write copy for newsletters, brochures, flyers, websites, blogs, articles, advertisements and more. We'll discuss what you want to achieve and the appropriate tone as well as your target audience and publications before giving you a price for the job. The price will be fixed unless you make major changes to your brief in which case we'll discuss the additional costs before you commit to the extra work. We aim to get the copy right first time but we listen to your feedback and adjust the copy until we're both happy with it, all within the original quoted price. Take a look at some of our recent work. We work closely with web developers, graphic designers and printers so we can help you every step of the way. Email us or call Glenda on 020 8991 2767 to discuss your needs and obtain a quote.
Business advice is usually best delivered on a one to one or business by business basis. This allows us to focus on the needs of your business. We specialise in helping businesses to grow so we'll look at where you are now, identify where you have scope to grow and help you to devise and implement a plan to make the growth happen. We can help you to develop business, marketing and action plans to take your business to the next level. Clients frequently comment that we give them ideas they hadn't previously thought of.
Start up businesses are a speciality. We want you to succeed so we'll challenge you to prove that you have a viable business idea. We'll help you to identify the steps you need to take to get your business off the ground legally and, if you need to raise finance, help you to prepare your case. We'll then stay in touch for as long as you want our support.
We understand that it can be difficult to take time to work on your business in normal working hours so we'll find a time and place to suit you. Just contact us to discuss your needs.
