Koolwebs Talk Today

Each member of the business club gets a profile page to advertise their business on our website.

As we have some fairly new members I wanted to go through the basic steps to update their business profile page on the website.

We looked at logging in and adding the basic text. I demonstrated adding images looking at size and uploading to the media library.

Everyone will be give a link to the presentation for reference as well as a link to a document with the written instructions.

We are always looking for new businesses to join us providing they don’t duplicate another members trade. Please call our chairperson if you would like to come along for a visit.

Happy New Year Presentation

Koolwebs begin with the first presentation of 2019. 

For some it was a chance to find out a little more about my background. Showing a little autobiographical piece, for the new members, with a section on what Koolwebs can offer.

A final short piece as a new year refresher on updating their business profiles on the website.

A thank you to Helen Fitzwater who has been a vibrant and helpful member of the club. Now moved on to look after her dogs, do more Yoga and continue with her Mannatech clients.

A Financial Healthcheck for the New Year

To kick off 2017 Nicholas, our Independent Financial Adviser, discussed the importance of regularly reviewing your finances.

In addition to reminding yourself of your short- and medium-term goals it is important to regularly check that any steps that you have made towards these are still relevant and appropriate for your needs today. Nicholas focused our attention by asking a few key questions:

  • How would a period of ill-health affect you/your family?
  • Are you taking an appropriate level of risk with your investments?
  • How competitive is your current mortgage arrangement?
  • How much will you need/want to live on when you stop working? Are you on track to achieve this?

Nicholas offers an initial consultation free of charge, and focuses on ensuring that he adds value to his clients. To contact Nicholas directly, please call 07812 049031 or email nicholas@pentagonp.co.uk
