During August and September, Republic is running a series of workshops for anyone who's launching – or thinking of launching – their own business. You could be a freelancer looking to expand your revenue streams, an entrepreneur with a idea that needs to be nurtured, or business owner who wants to grow. You can either come to the whole series, or drop in for the workshop that's most useful to you. Our no-nonsense, jargon-free advice workshops are interactive, intimate and informal, so you'll have the opportunity to get one-to-one feedback and network with like-minded Londoners. And you'll get the chance to chill on the roof at one of the capital's most exiting new workspaces. You can come to the whole series, or drop in for the workshop most relevant to you. Here are a few workshops to expect:

In business you need to tell your story constantly – to customers and clients, investors and shareholders, colleagues and employees, and the wider public. In this workshop we'll look at honing your message for presentations, social media, website copy and more.
