About this Event
Knowledge Hub Event: May 6th | The Legal Shield: Safe Hiring, Contracts & Cashflow Protection
Are you an established business owner feeling stuck in a growth plateau? Or a start-up founder navigating the heavy lifting of building a brand from the ground up?
Running a business is incredibly demanding. Itโs too easy to get lost in the day-to-day grind, feeling like you have to figure out every single hurdle on your own.
Welcome to the Hexagon Knowledge Hub Series - your opportunity to step back, gain clarity, and equip yourself with the exact tools you need to succeed.
Hosted at the Hexagon Elmfield Business Centre in Witney, these focused morning sessions act as a targeted "MOT" for your business. Stop googling for answers and start learning directly from Oxfordshire's leading industry experts.
The Expert Line Up
Is your business truly protected, or are you hoping for the best? As your business grows, a "handshake deal" and a copied-and-pasted contract no longer cut it. One bad hire or one unpaid invoice can severely impact your bottom line and your mental health. Join us for a deep dive into the legal and HR essentials every small business owner needs to scale safely, confidently, and profitably.
Inside this Masterclass:

Plus, sheโll tackle the tricky topic of managing sickness absence effectively, ensuring your team stays productive without crossing any legal boundaries.
- Parker Bullen: Bulletproof Your Contracts | Cash flow is the lifeblood of your business. The experts at Parker Bullen will reveal the absolute "must-have" clauses missing from most small business contracts. Learn how to legally ensure you get paid on time, every single time, and how to protect your intellectual property.
Your Exclusive Take-Home Toolkit: You won't just leave with notes; you'll leave with assets you can use immediately.
- A Comprehensive Small Biz Contract Checklist: Audit your current agreements the minute you get back to the office.
