Get Informed- Why 85% Of Start-ups Fail February 17, 2009

Setting up a business is a tough task, and its no wonder that over 85% of businesses set up in the first year fail; in the current financial climate things are trickier than ever.

Fear not though: Penina Sheppard will be returning to Striding Out to discuss how you can avoid the cut and drive your business to success. Penina founded her firm Acumen Business in October 07 and has since seen it flourish. Her revolutionary vision and business model has been remarkably successful: she won the Best New Business Award in September 08 and in October 08 was voted a UK Rising Star by the Observer in partnership with Courvoisier The Future 500.

Find out how she did it, the mistakes you need to avoid and how you can become one of the 15% that makes it!

Meet Penina at The Sky Bar, 54-55 Meeting House Lane, Brighton, BN1 1HB at 6pm on the 17th February!
