WEST Devon Information Point is holding a series of open evenings later this month, where people can get advice about improving their business.

Anyone can go along and have a free consultation with one of BIP's specialist business counsellors in Okehampton on September 22 and 24 in the organisation's offices in Bridge House and in Tavistock, at the Ordulph Arms, on September 29.

You can drop in at anytime between 5pm and 8pm and refreshments will be available.

Some of the questions answered will be how to increase your profitability, improve your business administrative systems and develop skills within your business.

Anyone with a longer term problem or issue that cannot be resolved in one session will be able to attend a follow-up session, free of charge. They can also be booked onto one of BIP's training courses.

The function of West Devon BIP is to assist businesses with their development and sustainability, helping to improve their competitiveness, which in turn leads to increased profitability and employment.
