Free City Business Clinics, Kings House, Hove These free clinics have been designed to provide local enterprises with a face-to-face review with an experienced Business Link adviser. You can discuss finance, sales & marketing, staffing, operations or regulatory requirements - whatever is causing concern at the moment. And if you need specialist help or support, the business adviser can help you find that too. Each session will last an hour so that your time away from your business will be kept to a minimum. Four slots are available during that day.
1st Tuesday and Thursday of each month.
