Built for founders and SME business owners who want to grow, protect, and future proof their business.
Practical strategies grounded in real business experience.
Joined-up perspectives across legal, finance, marketing, and coaching so you can see the full picture.
Clear next steps, prompts and practical takeaways so you know exactly what to do next.
Supportive, no-hard-sell environment where real business challenges are discussed openly.
NES Business Academy brings conversations together so you can make more informed business decisions and move forward with confidence.
Running and growing a business is full of risk points. Critical decisions often have legal, financial, people, and commercial implication all at the same time and most founders don’t have the benefit of internal discipline expertise so the joined-up guidance is not there.
In Aberdeen we have a strong business community, but advice is often fragmented. People speak to specialists in isolation, and only when something goes wrong. This event series is designed to change that dynamic and provide early, joined-up insight that helps founders make smarter choices and avoid expensive mistakes through sharing real life scenarios by experts that care.

If you are looking for clearer thinking, better decisions and business support, this is for you.
