Nero Ughwujabo the CEO of Croydon BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) forum and he is going to give us his expertise
(as he is a leading business advisory authority
in supporting Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) businesses in Croydon)
So welcome Nero; [ Nero] thank you very much Its is very good to be here
thanks for the invitation . {Constance Hall} Right So
we will start off quickly if you were to advise what to look for in going about finding a
great business
online in Croydon how would you advise them what to look for
(Nero) Well if you're looking for a great business clearly you want to make sure
that the business is able to deliver to your needs
and so you're going to be looking out for their reputation
and perhaps you would look online at the reviews of their previous customers
what they actually said
about that business. You may also want to obviously
look at the quality of service
and the quality of their experience if they actually go and actually
use the service of that organization.
[Constance] That's great!I You have been an expert business adviser working Croydon
for many years now so if someone were to come to you into Croydon BME foruml right now
What experience do they expect to have. [Nero] okay well what they can be assured of
this
we are qualified businesses advisor I myself am an
accredited business adviser so they will expect that
they are going to get
good quality service and support and because we are a social enterprise organisation
we can actually provide
more hand holding down you will get from another
consultant and this is not just process of taking you through the
organization and
collecting your money we actually its take time to engage with people to
understand
where they are coming from so we can understand that their needs; so we can understand
where
they want to go I'm to provide and the right level of support for their specific
needs.
[Constance] And I think you are so right because I remember when I was going to set up my business
that is when I needed some hand-holding right and when I was looking online I found you
know the various banks
and the other services from the chambers of commerce and so on and I was really looking for
someone to
hold my hand just to help me through the nitty-gritty of setting my business plan
and how to help to find funding and that was NOT there for me and was certainly
very superficial for me. So I am really very glad
hear that you provide a hand holding service to your customers.
who are seeking your support. So just to get somebody
to come through your door right because I'm really
want you to get even more success than you have had so far
