Right, I’m going to ask for your help again because apparently this actually works 😆
I’ve got funding from to run these completely FREE business events in Essex this May, and I need to make sure the spaces are filled so the events can go ahead.
When I say free, I mean actually free.
Not “come along for free and then spend the last hour being aggressively sold to while clutching a lukewarm coffee and questioning your life choices” free.
Properly free. Government-funded free.
These events are for business owners, sole traders, self-employed people, landlords, side-hustlers, and anyone who knows they probably need to understand their finances/tax/MTD situation a bit better but keeps putting it off.
The first event is on Tuesday 12th May at Lifehouse Spa, from 9am to midday. This one is smaller, with only 20 spaces available, so it’ll be a relaxed, friendly room with networking, guest speakers, useful business growth chats, and a plain-English explanation of what Making Tax Digital actually means.
No judgement. No scary tax waffle. No assuming you already understand it all.
The second event is on Wednesday 21st May at The Venue at Holland FC, from 10am to 3pm.
This one is bigger, with more speakers, more time, more business growth content, and more opportunity to meet other local business owners who are also trying to run a business without losing the plot (trying being key here).
However, here’s the really important bit ... I need people to actually book their places.
These are funded events, so they only really work if people turn up, use them, learn something, meet people, and get proper value from them.
So if this sounds useful for you, or for someone you know, comment FREE below and I’ll send over the booking details.
Tax doesn’t have to be terrifying.
Business finances don’t have to feel like a secret club you weren’t invited to.
Free business events don’t have to come with a kidney donation clause. Promise.
