Raw Business School is a face to face networking event that combines business networking with business education. So many businesses fail because many Entrepreneurs lack the necessary knowledge and business skills required to help them navigate, at times, perilous and unforgiving journey of being in business. If Entrepreneurs knew what they would have to give up in pursuing their dreams before they started, would they have actually started their business? Raw Business School can have an impact on business success rates by providing a unique opportunity for Entrepreneurs and business owners to build an extended support network of like-minded people whilst gaining valuable skills.

Rona Cant, round-the-world sailor, explorer and high profile speaker will be presenting her highly successful and inspiring talk, ‘Steering The Right Course' at Raw Business School CHelmsford on 17th March.
