Business Advisors/Coaching

As someone running your own business, you will occasionally find it helpful to discuss your ideas or challenges with a third party –  your accountant or banker, perhaps a business coach, or maybe a trusted colleague or friend.

As an alternative, imagine a group of independent business owners who not only trade with each other but are also willing to share their combined expertise and experience with you. Too good to be true?

Surprisingly, one such organisation does actually exist. Known as The Central Business Hub (TCBH), it is a group of experienced business professionals, all keenly aware of the needs of businesses in today’s unfavourable market conditions.

From its base in High Wycombe it offers free Business Advice Clinics to start-ups or small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Our objective is to work as a team to assist as many businesses as possible, initially in partnership with professional bodies such as the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB). To date we have held Business Advice Clinics for a domestic cleaning company, a garden designer, a watch provider and a recruitment business.
