The upcoming Business Startup Show will be host to more than 140 free seminars led by some of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs and business experts, and over 200 exhibitors will be showcasing the goods, services, support and know-how required to get a new business off the ground, and take an existing business to whole new heights.
