Cloud9 Growth Hub

Small and medium-sized businesses will be the backbone of the economy as it rebounds from the Pandemic. Imagine a union of SMEs that starts here in Sussex with the goal of driving that economic recovery and expands to every corner of the United Kingdom.

Cloud9 Growth Hub is that union – a innovative collective of five diverse but mutually-supportive businesses in South East England.

Our mission is to help SMEs navigate the complexities of the modern workplace and we will do that by hosting a quarterly series of powerful talks that inspire ambition and growth.

Our speaker-led events will be sometime be challenging, will often be ground-breaking and will always be thoughtful.

Venue: Ironworks Studios, Unit 2, 30 Cheapside, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 4GD.

Time and date: 5.30pm (networking) for 6.30pm-8.30pm, Thursday, 16th June

Topic: the decision to buy or sell a business can be fraught with nerve-jangling and complex considerations about the legal, commercial and ethical aspects of any deal. The biggest question of all might be: “Am I about to make a terrible mistake”. To help you avoid that by putting a rock solid plan in place, Cloud9 Growth Hub has gathered some of the most battle-hardened minds in the SME sector to guide you through the knowledge you must not miss.

Speakers: Adrian Alexander, partner at FRP Advisory, will talk on financing a business purchase and preparing your business for sale; Karen Lord, partner at Healys will discuss the key corporate legal aspects and potential pitfalls of a purchase or sale; and Gerry Lawrence, Regional Director at Freeman Clarke, will cover the first 100 days after sale.
