EXPERIENCED advisors will be on hand with help at a pop-up business cafe in Northallerton on Thursday, November 3.

One of them is David Gibson, who said: “If you are an SME or micro-business, you might be working alone or with very few people around you. Even the biggest companies and most successful business people need advisors to confide in and bounce ideas off.’’

Having run a marketing consultancy since 2008, Mr Gibson is familiar with the problems that small business owners face, such as obtaining funding and increasing customer outreach.

The free event is being organised by How’s Business, the growth hub for York, North Yorkshire and East Riding. It will be held from 9am to 1pm, at the Evolution Business Centre. Experts will be available to discuss topics such as marketing, finance, tax and accountancy. To book, visit HowsBusiness.org
