Business 2020 workshop being presented by Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business

PIETERMARITZBURG, South Africa - Feb. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Business 2020

Where will your business be in 2020? Will your existing business model still be viable? How will you fund it?

You will find answers to these and other key questions at one of two, one-day, workshops being presented by the Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business on 24 and 25 March. The workshop on the 24^th is for start-up businesses - businesses that are still to be born or that have been in existence for three years or less. The workshop on the 25^th is focused around established businesses and their needs. Speakers will tailor their presentations to meet the needs of these two groups of participants.

The Chamber has been fortunate to secure four recognised speakers to take participants on this exciting journey of discovery. They are:

·         Bryce Biggs of Bryce Biggs Consulting who will focus on your business opportunities and model, as well as how to increase the market value of your business.

·         Dr Clive Coetzee of KZN Provincial Treasury will be gazing deep into his economist’s crystal ball to forecast for you what is likely to happen in key sectors of the economy and where the growth will be.

·         Dr Leon Grove will address essential people aspects of your business – how to successfully choose partners or staff, and how to maximise benefits from your networks.

·         Finally, Dr Rob Smorfitt, a leading authority on business funding, will be advising you on accessing funds through funding fairs and on how to crowdfund your business.
