Richard is great!

I have a free call with Richard and it was great!! His honest advice helped me confirm things I was unsure about and has given me the confidence in what I was already doing. Thank you so much, I've been on a few calls with different people for advice and this one was by far the most valuable.

First class business rates advice

On a recommendation from Bromley Council Paul M is the first person in 5 years that was able to clearly explain how business rates work for our business and how we can properly split the space. Superb knowledge and communication.

Support for small businesses

London Business Partnership were incredibly understanding of our situation and the urgency we faced in a dispute with the Council. They swiftly arranged a consultation with a highly knowledgeable solicitor, who provided us with clear advice and guidance on the right course of action to take. As a small business, it’s reassuring to know that there is such strong support available when needed.

Another productive session

Another productive session, this time with Peter Haycocks who is a Business Coach. Appreciated his understanding of my business and introducing a new perspective by posing questions to help me probe deeper into what I'm doing. Looking forward to the next session once I've completed and integrated the tasks from this session. Highly recommend Peter as I felt quite at ease and he picked up on small points that could make a positive impact.

The London Business Partnership have…

The London Business Partnership have been a tremendous help to us on more than one occasion now.

As small business owners, approaching a rent review is stressful. The LBP helped us to proactively and successfully negotiate a very favourable rent. Without their feedback I doubt we would have been bold enough to make this approach.

Now, with an option to acquire ownership of our premises, Paddy has brought clarity to the situation, and reassurance that market conditions mean that this is within our reach.

I will be running ideas past him shortly in the hope we can achieve a favourable outcome. We’ve far more confidence that with their assistance this is realistic.

Advice and support of this type can make a huge difference in what are significant moments is a businesses trajectory, and therefore in the stress associated with it.

Many thanks!

Very helpful 1:1 from Paddy

Very helpful 1:1 from Paddy, full of common sense. He understood my needs clearly and gave me some very helpful leads and suggestions that I am following up. I shall look out for future webinars and services provided by London Business Partnership. This is exactly what small businesses have needed for a long time. The 1:1 gives me hope that I can find new premises and get back in business soon.

Very practical and high caliber advice

I had a consultation with a member of staff from London Business Partnership about the property needs of my company. It was the second time I was provided their support. The triage meeting was highly effective and tailored to the ad-hoc business property needs of my company. A roadmap/plan of action was drafted on the spot for my consideration and a follow-up was offered if need be in the future. In an era when startup generic resources are plenty available online, having someone to reassure you that you are on track is important. Thank you London Business Partnership for providing this service; it is an excellent support for small business owners.
