Small Businesses, Big Advice

If you are new to the business world or just new to certain aspects of it, such as ebusiness, sometimes a little help is all you need. But where do you turn to when you need that extra bit of help to help kickstart you into high gear. Generally speaking, for small businesses, consulting firms tend to be expensive, and advice from friends is never cheap. Just remember, you are not the only small business owner out there, there are others like you who need some sound advice to make their business successful. Small businesses in Nottingham don?t know where to turn for quality ebusiness help and advice, and leading independent ebusiness consultant Susan Hallam is working to fill that gap.

A recent EMDA survey of small businesses in the East Midlands region revealed that nearly three quarters (70%) of small businesses are not aware of any sources of ebusiness advice or support. As part of a commitment to raising awareness of quality assured ebusiness consultants, Susan Hallam, managing director of Nottingham based Hallam Communications, has recently been accredited on the National Business Link Consultants Register. Susan Hallam comments, ?Businesses aren?t confident that they can find ebusiness consultants who they can trust, and who will deliver on the promises made. The National Register helps them to take the first step in finding a suitably experienced consultancy partner.

A regional leader in independent ebusiness consultancy and training, Hallam Communications has been helping small businesses to create ebusiness strategies and implement ebusiness solutions since 2000.
Susan has been involved in a wide range of e-marketing initiatives in Nottingham. She is a founder member of Connected Nottingham?s eBusiness training and mentoring programme. She prepares and delivers leading edge training and consultancy for Web Academy , the premier training and mentoring programme designed to assist East Midlands companies in delivering real business improvement through web technology.
