Practical advice on permits, grants and hiring for local business owners.
The Small Business Forum brings owners together with the city’s licensing, planning and economic development teams. This year’s sessions focus on the things owners tell us take too long: permits, premises and finding staff.
Short talks in the morning are followed by one-to-one advice tables, where you can bring a specific question and leave with a clear next step. Local lenders and the business grants team will also be there.
Attendance is free and includes lunch. Sole traders and people planning to start a business are especially welcome.
