NFEA launches Credit Crunch Week to support small business
The media is full of scare stories about the impending Credit Crunch and the impact that it is likely to have on small business. NFEA (National Federation of Enterprise Agencies) is taking action on this issue with the launch of a dedicated Credit Crunch Week - to prepare current and future small business owners for any consequences this economic climate is likely to have on their business.
Running from Monday 28 April to Friday 2 May, NFEA members across England will provide a range of events focused on giving small businesses the skills they need to survive and thrive in a more hostile environment than that to which they are accustomed.
New and prospective small business owners will be able to learn how to ride the storm and manage their business effectively whatever the future brings, in a range of tailored events including seminars, workshops and surgeries as well as the opportunity for one to one independent, professional financial advice.
Commenting on the launch of this dedicated activity, NFEA Chief Executive George Derbyshire has said: “We are not criticising the Government or the banks or big business - but we know from talking to small businesses that they are worried about what they are reading and hearing, and we know that many entrepreneurs, particularly those who have started businesses in recent years, have not had the experience of managing their business through a downturn.”
More information on the dedicated week of events will appear on www.nfea.com in the lead up to the week of events and details will also be promoted locally by NFEA enterprise agencies. For those individuals not able to attend an event in person, online business advisors will also be answering specific Credit Crunch related queries on the free and confidential Small Business Advice Service website, www.smallbusinessadvice.org.uk.
