Free Business Advice Session from Forbes Burton

Grimsby-based business recovery and insolvency specialist Forbes Burton is urging businesses to take advantage of tailored advice they will be offering alongside E-Factor Business at a free workshop taking place later this month.

The company, which has more than 30 years’ experience in helping businesses with financial problems, wants to make business owners aware of how they can stop things going wrong and what to do if a problem arises.

Rick Smith and Ben Westoby of Forbes Burton will be hosting at the E-Factor Business workshop and will be giving advice on avoiding the pitfalls that many people fall into while trying to run a successful, thriving business. The event will take place on Friday 27th April at The Enterprise Village on Prince Albert Gardens in Grimsby.

Rick Smith, Managing Director at Forbes Burton, said: “We never want to think about things going wrong, but all too often they do. This is why we’re urging business owners seeking advice on ways to improve their business to come and see us, before problems arise.”

The session will run from 8:30am until 10:30am and will cover key subject areas including:

  • Knowing your figures
  • Managing cash flow
  • Minimising borrowing
  • Not using HMRC as a bank
  • Careful expansion
  • Exit strategies
  • How to tell if your company is in trouble
  • Financing (consolidation)
  • Company restarts
  • Closures

Humber Growth Hub advisers Tim Maddinson and Steve Parker will also be on hand to discuss the wide variety of business support programmes and grants available in the region.
