In 2025, the business landscape is ripe with opportunities for small enterprises.
Broxbourne Enterprise Centres (BEC) recently celebrated its first anniversary, sharing its impact for the economic growth for the area, but also on a more personal level for the business owners we support.
So as we start to look at what the next 12 months may bring, we feel this is the perfect moment to reflect on what lies ahead and why this year might be the ideal time for your company to join our thriving community.
And you could be in for January if you take decisive action in the next week or two.
