It has always been impossible to be an expert on all subjects.

In todays, increasingly complex world, it is becoming virtually impossible to even have a broad knowledge of all the subjects needed to run a successful small business.

Small business owners, simply can't wear that many hats

In the past they didn't know what they didn't know, and they didn't mind.

Today they are beginning to realise what they don't know and are worried about it.

As a result, increasing they are turning to outside parties for help and support.

In small business boards tended to be very small one or two people, they rarely had anyone independent on them.  This is changing and this change is badly needed.

Join us for an insightful event exploring the evolving landscape of business management!  Whether you're a small business owner, an aspiring entrepreneur, or a seasoned professional, this event offers invaluable insights.  Don't miss out on this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve! Reserve your spot now and empower your small business for success. See you there!
