Richmond Council, in partnership with NatWest Bank who are offering impartial support, are holding an event at York House on 21 February from 2.30pm that will give attendees practical advice and information when starting up their own business.
Subjects up for discussion will be the importance of business plans, promoting your business, finance and funding, and reasons why businesses fail.
