What do you want to know about selling online?

How has the pandemic affected your career or business?

Are you new to self-employment and looking for new routes to market?

Have you needed to pivot your business online and use new digital tools to reach your customers?

Do you wish you understood how others set up online shops and market their business so well?

Do you need more help to understand the power of Shopify, Etsy, Stripe and Xero?

At StartUp Croydon, we want to support your ambitions in the new post pandemic world and help demystify the direct to consumer digital platforms that can help you reach your clients. We’re a charity that encourages and advises potential entrepreneurs wishing to move to self-employment so that they can set up and grow their own business, with the support of in-house mentoring, free training and subsidised managed accommodation.

So, if you have started producing food from home, or are now selling imported goods direct to consumers online and want to know how to scale your offering, we are looking to help businesses like yours get the most out of digital and online tools that could help you grow your sales and profits. We’d love to hear what help your own business could use.

We are working with entrepreneur and food service consultant Jasper Wight of Tastebed and plan to hold an event to hear your views and address challenges you may be facing in using digital solutions and your responses to a short survey which will help inform the content of this event.

Please fill out our survey to tell us your own needs. It should not take more than a few minutes, and could really help your business grow in these challenging times.

We look forward to receiving your views and helping you to maximise your business opportunities and help you reach more customers.
