What one top tip would you give to a business owner embarking on a growth plan?
Stay on track – all businesses (especially creative ones) think of so many great ideas that they forget their primary objective is to make a profit and grow. It is very easy when you have a creative mind, to think of new ideas every month and want to implement them – my advice is maintaining the mantra ‘Profit For Effort’ – the juice has to be worth the squeeze!

Why is Lancashire a great place to grow a business?
Lancashire is full of determination and tenacity; we have the benefit of a great local business support network, tonnes of free/low cost networking groups and bags of free advice to help us all succeed!

Why are you backing Boost Business Lancashire?
