Robert Peston at DeVere in Canary Wharf last evening

Robert Peston at DeVere in Canary Wharf last evening, 12 March 2009
East London Business Place (ELBP) hosted at event at the Canary Wharf venue of DeVere for small businesses -and what an enjoyable evening it was. Robert Peston of the BBC, from Financial Crisis/Economic meltdown fame, was the guest speaker.

Very instructive to hear in plain English the financial crisis explained and implications for business -and yes, there are opportunities.

Later, in conversation with another business owner, it was reassuring and refreshing to hear about many clients who are actively growing businesses at present, both in the UK and abroad.

There is some good news, despite troubling economic times.

Very enjoyable evening!

PS. Does anyone else know of actively growing small businesses, despite the recession?

How to resolve your Financial and Accounting puzzles in 2009 -for owners and managers of small businesses

After a busy start to business in 2009, I am collaborating with a finance expert to develop a new course on understanding finance, accounting and budgeting for small business owners.

This course is our response to concerns shared by some business owners as they position their business to survive and prepare for growth during the global economic downturn. These owners feel that they need to increase their understanding instead of continuing their over reliance on their book keepers and accountants to tell them what's happening in their business. A few felt they were fortunate to have accountants who provided them with business advice on planned expansions, however, these owners feel they need to become more informed and feel comfortable asking meaningful, well-informed questions about financial information on their business.

Please email me with those financial and accounting terms that confuse you and you would like to know more about. Email: vb@executive-solutions.co.uk, with Finance and Accounting puzzles in the subject line.

Have an enjoyable week!
