Welcome to Brighton Cafe
This site aims to provide practical advice and guidance to new start up businesses in Brighton. Think of it as entrepreneurial caffeine.
The site includes advice and guidance from many of Brighton's entrepreneurs on starting and growing a business successfully, as well as my own experience of growing two Brighton based businesses. Many of these people are also happy to provide help and guidance over a coffee.
We also recommend some great Brighton cafes where you can discuss and plan your start up over cup of coffee.

Brighton Cafes
I have been reviewing cafes in Brighton for many years now. My latest reviews can be found on the left hand menu.
Business Advice
All the advice on this site is based on my experience. I have tried to focus on the key things which have worked for me and which I hope you will find useful. This ranges from business planning to managing your operation to protecting your brand to using open source software.
