I have been a Harrow resident for over 25 years and during that time I have seen many changes in the borough with some well-established businesses still trading, family-owned businesses handed down to the next generation and others less fortunate have come and gone. Harrow is vibrant and diverse with an ever increasing number of small businesses.Having started my own business 7 years ago I have been so fortunate to work with many different types of local business owners across different sectors, ranging from legal and financial services to wellbeing, plumbing and pest control! I have helped people turn a business idea on paper into an actual business with paying customers and worked with existing businesses on improving their operations ultimately increasing sales and growth.Helping people achieve their vision is what I love to do! We start with an initial 45 min discovery meeting and we then build the action plan which we work through together. Setting up and growing a business can be great fun so if you need any advice, guidance, or help our friendly team will help you achieve your dream!Contact Tracey on 020 3633 1003 or 07799 627500 or email info@symphonybusinesssupport.co.ukwww.symphonybusinesssupport.co.uk
