Julie Stanford, President Brighton & Hove Chamber of Commerce filmed providing professional advice and tips for business start-ups, November 2009.
Brighton and Hove is a vibrant, young city with a highly educated, graduate workforce, higher than most other parts of the UK. Naturally, this lends itself too, to an entrepreneurial spirit and the City has one of the highest business start up rates now, in the UK.
Most of us possibly wished we had done things in a different way when starting up a business.
Starting a business isn't easy and can be made easier with some of the available help from the Brighton and Hove business community.
Our new Show start up web page highlights some of the support organisations, associations, and commercial businesses that can help you start your business in 2010 to grow, and information about some of our previous business start up exhibitors.
