Entrepreneurs face many challenges on the journey to success. Sometimes the most challenging of all is simply getting started. The British Business Bank lists social capital as one of the top 5 enablers of entrepreneurial success. Having a network of individuals who provide information on key issues is sometimes the most critical thing to business success.

Our panellists will share what they’ve learned in the development of their business, revealing the strategies they took in their early stages, what worked, and what didn’t. If you’re in the start-up phase or looking to establish your business in a market this is the session for you.
