Book your place for the September small business surgery

There are just a few slots left for the next small business surgery, which will be held at the Business & IP Centre (BIPC) at Jubilee Library on Wednesday 16 September.

Led by Councillor Mohammed Asaduzzaman, the council’s Cabinet Advisor for Small Business and Innovation, the sessions run from 3pm to 5pm, with slots available to book through Eventbrite.

Facing challenges

Drawing on his years of civic leadership and ongoing work across neighbourhoods, Cllr Asaduzzaman, recognises the challenges faced by small business owners and champions stronger and more consistent support to ensure that local businesses are treated as core partners in economic growth, regeneration, and cultural development.

The surgeries give business owners and entrepreneurs the opportunity to talk to Cllr Asaduzzaman about opportunities for their business, building on the work of the BIPC and the Growth Hub digital service.

Due to the high demand for places at previous surgeries, please only book a slot if you are sure you will be able to attend.

Meeting, listening and sharing ideas

Councillor Asaduzzaman said: “Brighton & Hove is known for its independence, creativity and community values. That spirit starts with our small businesses and it’s our responsibility to ensure they have a voice in shaping our city’s future. 

“By meeting, listening and sharing ideas and opportunities, we can work together to make real progress, and as the region moves towards devolution will be working hard to make sure our independent businesses are ready to harness the potential benefits.”
