  Understanding Risk:  Smart Insurance Decisions for Small Business

  Every business owner faces risk - the real question for us all is how we choose to manage it.

  At our upcoming SBNG meeting, we’re pleased to welcome an experienced insurance broker, Mark Hanslow of Hanslow Insurance Group, to share practical insights into how small and medium enterprises approach risk and insurance. Drawing on many years in the industry, Mark will explore the balancing act that business owners face when deciding what to insure, what risks to carry themselves, and how to make informed choices that protect both their business and their future.

  This session will offer a clear and practical perspective on how insurance fits into the broader risk management picture for SMEs — helping you think more strategically about safeguarding what you’ve built.

  
  

  If you’re a business owner, decision-maker, or professional working with small businesses, this will be a valuable opportunity to gain insights, ask questions, and connect with others in the local business community.

  Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to other small business owners and managers as you present your 20 second Elevator Pitch.

  Spread the word, invite a friend to register and make it your business to join us!

  
  

  Kind regards

  Step Into Visibility with the SBNG Spotlight Workshop

  If you run a business, visibility isn’t optional.  It's essential.

  At some point, you need to be able to stand up and clearly articulate:

  • why you do what you do

  • who you help

  • what makes your business valuable

  • and what kind of opportunities you’re seeking

  For many business owners, this is the exact point where their confidence wobbles.  And responding to requests for help with some public speaking confidence, we’re running a focused, practical 4-hour workshop to help you nail this skill.

  In this session, you will:

  • Define your succinct message

  • Clarify the story and inspiration behind your business
    

  • And leave with a repeatable structure you can use everywhere

  This workshop is for anyone who wants to:

  • Step into greater visibility with their business

  • Master their communication wobbles

  • Strengthen how they represent their business

  • Feel prepared vs winging it

  So, if you’re ready to elevate how you present yourself and your business, this workshop is for you.
