All are welcome to join the BIPC Northamptonshire at the wonderful Vulcan Works for a morning of informal networking and presentations from guest speakers!

Come and meet local entrepreneurs, sole traders and small business owners based in Northamptonshire and surrounding areas.

Our networking events provide an opportunity for you to seek business support, and develop your business ideas with like minded people throughout Northamptonshire.

Starting, running and growing your business can be a lonely venture, but you are not alone! So why not pop along and learn from and be inspired by other business professionals.

During the session the BIPC Northamptonshire will provide a short overview of our own services, as well as a ‘Top 5’ tips for successfully applying for the £2,000 Build Your Business Programme’s start up grant.

Speakers will include former BIPC Northamptonshire grant winner, Cate Gregory of Attain Coaching, who will provide an insight to her business growth journey, and offer guidance reflecting back on the “Things I wish I had known” as a new small business owner.

We will also hear from Ella Wheeldon, Business Development Manager for the Health Protection Team at West Northamptonshire Council. Ella will discuss some of the common legal and regulatory pitfalls that both new startup and established businesses can find themselves in, with tips to avoid these and who to speak with to get the best advice on what to do next.
