The Business Development Centre is launching a Business Solutions Clinic to provide personal business counselling sessions to entrepreneurs and business owners. |
||
Why are we launching a Business Solutions Clinic?
We are frequently contacted by clients who are not able to afford costly consultations provided by various specialists and consultants. Even when faced with serious challenges, many business owners try to work through problems on their own, or just close the eyes and hope for the best. Every time this happens, they end up putting their businesses at risk, because of lack or information and guidance.
We say "Enough is enough"! After receiving thousands of requests for assistance, we decided to create a clinic that would allow regular people to get the information and guidance they need to succeed. We are going even one step further - The Clinic is FREE. There is no cost and no strings attached. It's our way of giving back to the business community that helped us become industry leaders.
Who is this Clinic for?
This clinic is for people who want to start a business, but have limited resources or for those who are already in business and want to improve it. If you have questions or a challenges that prevent you from growing your business, you can discuss them with one of our specialists and get immediate guidance or information on the steps you need to take to solve them.
