What It's Like to Run a Business Based on Fun, Creativity and Community

This networking evening is run by Hive Collective at Yonder Workspace in Walthamstow and centres on a panel discussion with Luke from Revel Puck Circus and Mel from Continental Drifts, two founders of creative, project-based businesses. They talk through managing seasonal income swings, cashflow, securing funding, balancing multiple revenue streams, working with local authorities, building a team and deciding when to scale up. The evening runs from 7pm to 9:30pm: informal networking from 7pm, introductions at 7:30pm, the panel discussion from 7:45pm, audience Q&A from 8:30pm, then further networking from 8:45pm. It's aimed at creative entrepreneurs and freelancers wanting practical insight into running a sustainable small business. Booking is through Eventbrite.
