"I am pleased to have found an organisation with a creative edge that are willing to help guide me through the fledgling stages of my business idea. 'Less thinking about doing, and more actual doing' shall be my motto for the summer."
 Advice

Our free advice service offers both individuals and businesses the opportunity to sound out their ideas with an adviser in a one-to-one session to focus on a particular business need. Sessions are subject to the availability of our pool of part-time and independent advisers.

On initial contact with the service we would generally recommend arranging an initial advice session with one of our five regional Advisers to explore and discuss your professional development needs.

Art-Form Advisers cover the following sectors: community arts, design, music, screen & digital media, performance and visual arts.

Business Advisers cover finance, HR, legal, marketing, press & PR, property, tax and VAT.

All sessions are appointment-based meetings and are strictly private and confidential. During a session you can expect to: 

  1. discuss ideas
  2. draw up an action plan
  3. set goals
  4. be signposted to further sources of support and advice
