Companies can seek advice from the Business Secretary at a networking event aimed at small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Both Vince Cable and Zac Goldsmith join leading business experts for the launch of the Business Growth Accelerator clinic, targeting west London small-to-medium-sized-enterprise owners.

Experts from Metro Bank, PayPal, and Money and Co are among the advisers taken from the worlds of e-commerce, SEO, human resources, public relations, marketing, accounting and law who will help businesses with their questions.

Helen Roberts, organiser and business growth expert, said: “We are committed to finding ways of accelerating growth for SMEs.

“They are an innovative, energetic, and effective force for good in the local and national economy as well as employing people.

“The support that we are having from leading Government figures Vince Cable and Zac Goldsmith demonstrates what a priority this is to the country as a whole.”

The event, the first in a series, is a clinic designed to give SMEs access to top level business advice in one day.

The clinic costs £30 per person or £50 for two and will be held at PayPal offices, Richmond on Friday, May 16.
