FREE workshops are being held for new businesses in the Eastleigh area.

The Moving On sessions are aimed at supporting people who have set up companies in the last three years, are inexperienced at running their own firms and who are having difficulties in taking their business to the next stage.

A series of four workshops will be run by Solent Education Business Partnership with topics including problem solving, sales and marketing, financial management and cash flow forecasting.

Eastleigh Borough Council’s cabinet member for business and skills, Peter Wall, said: “New businesses are a vital part of our economy.

“We continue to be committed to helping new businesses in the borough and I would encourage anyone who has recently set up a business to take advantage of these free workshops.”

The weekly course will begin on February 27 at Wessex House Business Centre, Upper Market Street, Eastleigh.
