We are proud to partner with School for Startups as their preferred software solution for small businesses. We’ll be at their events this month – it would be great to see you there!

School for Startups is the inspiration of Doug Richard from BBC’s Dragon’s Den series 1 & 2 and is the UK’sleading provider of business training for entrepreneurs. Doug provides expert tuition on topics such as starting a new business, finance and investment, product management, managing successful teams and entrepreneurial marketing.

We were at Aberdeen and Edinburgh events recently which were superb. This is what some of the attendees said:

“Doug Richard is one of the best motivational speakers I’ve ever heard. I have been on other business courses, but never done one that has made so much difference to my business in such a short space of time.”

Erika Paganini, The Tasty Pastry Company

“I found the event very beneficial. It covered so much relevant material. Having someone like Doug give a one day seminar covering most of the topics you need as an entrepreneur was a great idea.”

Simon Anstey, FoneFonics

There are only 50 tickets remaining and what’s more, they have dropped the price by 50% for the last 50 tickets!
