Setting out to build a business on your own isn’t the easy option. For growing numbers it’s the obvious one and it works.
Others struggle. At Citizens Advice we see self-employed people whose problems start with difficulties in their business.
We want to help stop the difficulties before they start.
In Better Self-Employment, written by Banstead CA volunteer John Dougill, we make recommendations. Now John and our group are talking to the experts about how the ideas could work in practice.
First off, Simon Bland and James Chandler, leading lights in the Business Team at Reigate & Banstead Borough Council.
A productive discussion before Christmas highlighted several opportunities for cooperation between CAB and Council.
We want to thank Simon and James for their wise advice and hope to make a useful contribution to the council’s enterprise support in 2018.
