The Business Show
by Startacus Admin
The Business Show is the UK’s biggest exhibition for anyone who is starting a business- it also happens to be one of our favourites!
If you have recently started a business and are in need of some good advice to keep things moving in the right direction– The Business Show could be an excellent opportunity for you!
Each year this 2-day event (which is FREE to attend) sees thousands of startups, entrepreneurs, and self-starters descend upon the ExCeL in London to benefit from a wealth of opportunities, information, advice, and inspiration crucial for starting and growing a business within a challenging economy.
Check out this video for a flavour of what attendees can expect this year!

In addition to all of the usual trappings of a large business event such as workshops, seminars, discussions, and exhibitions, this year’s The Business Show will also play host to a Google Garage. For those of you who are unfamiliar, a Google Garage is a drop in service where business owners can get advice on a wide range of topics associated with growing a business online including things like e-commerce, business SEO, and mobile optimisation.
One-to-one consultations and 30-minute presentations at the garage will be on offer so that attendees can benefit from Google’s wide expertise in this area, as well as learn about some of the business products and collaboration tools created by Google including AdSense and Google Apps for Work which is a work related suite of software, as well as Google Drive, Gmail and Google Apps.
