Sandra Walker, contracts and administration manager, said, “We are delighted to be running a series of one day workshops across the Lewes District in Newhaven, Seaford and Lewes. These one-day workshops cover everything from managing cash-flow, deciding on the legal status of your business, and customer focussed marketing.”

Recent figures show that 88 per cent of businesses fail in their first year if they do not receive support.

Sandra added, “It’s so important that anyone who is considering starting their own business or have recently started trading get appropriate support. Running a business is not easy, but we can help make sure you are on firm foundations.

“We have run similar workshops in Eastbourne and Wealden for a number of years, and they are always very popular and oversubscribed. If you’d like to attend – just call 01323 641 144.”
