Small Business Clinic FAQs
Small Business Clinic FAQs
Is it only for businesses?
Yes - we are not the right people to support your mum, dad, grandma or kids. We work with smaller businesses on Sydney's beautiful northern beaches.
How regularly do they run?
We are trying to run them every 2 weeks - eventually we aim to host one on the north end of the beaches and one on the southern end.
Do I have to buy anything?
No - quite the opposite. This a free service and we just want to give smaller businesses on the beaches somewhere to get answers to their IT issues and burning questions.
Can I book in a time?
Yes - soon you will be able to book a particular time slot using the calendar on this page or, for now, just rock up at take pot luck at timings.
Can I just turn up?
Yes - feel free to just turn up. Bring your question, your issues or even your phone or laptop that is giving you trouble.
