The Business & IP Centre at Exeter and Barnstaple Libraries host a range of events and workshops to suit start-ups, entrepreneurs or businesses looking to learn new skills or research their industry.
Webinars run weekly on a variety of subjects and are a great way to get an overview of a new topic, or a refresher which can help you to look at your business plan in a new light. Whether you’re just starting out or an established business looking to grow, our webinars are useful, inspiring and informative.
One-to-ones are useful for enquiring about how you can access business information and support, to discuss a problem or question you have in a specific area of your business, or to find out more about Intellectual Property. Find out more information on our 1-to-1s page.
Financial confidence can be a significant barrier for many business owners in the UK as the topic is not always taught in schools. However, it’s been proven by organisations such as Small Business Britain UK that female entrepreneurs and ethnic minority female founders struggle to progress their businesses as a result of reduced financial access and confidence. If you don’t know how to find the right support or where to gain funding, then Rayanne Armand’s online workshop is for you.
With Rayanne’s expertise as a chartered accountant, she will help you to improve your financial literacy and signpost you to resources that will help you access loans, find the right bookkeeping software, and understand your tax obligations. You will come away from the session more prepared to take on financial hurdles and thrive rather than survive in the journey to grow your business.
About Rayanne Armand
From start-up to scale-up… I am here to support you in building the knowledge and mindset for the right finance foundations for your business.
I am passionate about helping people better understand their numbers in business. As a Chartered Accountant with a Masters In Finance and over a decade of experience in lecturing Accounting and Finance (from University of Cape Town to Level 4 AAT to Finance for Non-Finance Managers) I bring a vast wealth of knowledge. While running 4 successful businesses means that I also bring relatable practical experience to support small business owners.
Having built an accounting practice that provides a full “done-for-you” accounts department for larger businesses I identified a massive need among small business owners who can’t afford an accountant/bookkeeper but really need guidance and support in staying compliant and meeting all the HMRC tax deadlines.
Originally from South Africa, my husband and I moved to the UK 9 years ago. Building multiple businesses while raising 4 children (aged 7 and under) I believe that you can build & run a successful business while still having enough time to pursue your personal goals. I would love to support others in achieving this, starting with removing the stress of taxes.
