The team at RapidBI have been leading business support for over 18 years. We know what works, and what does not. In a joint venture with Hyperspace Paignton, we run a series of weekly, drop-in business support clinics in Paignton, Devon.
The RapidBI team has run many clinics in West London, Central London for the British Library, and training many business advisors in the Midlands and Glasgow.
Offering pragmatic and proven advice, these clinics will help propel you and your business to the next level, without getting into debt and wasting your valuable time.
No subscriptions or consultancy fees, grow and develop your business at a pace that suits you.
Launched in October 2020, these no-cost sessions are practical, no-nonsense support for people keen to develop their own businesses and do not know where to go.
Our business network hub is a safe place to share ideas and learn from others.
