London Olympics 2012 - Exporting For Small Businesses

As part of the business community's London 2012 programme the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) and the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) held an event on exporting for small businesses.

The Olympic and Paralympic Games will see London host thousands of international business visitors. As the global spotlight shines on London if your business has export potential then this is the perfect event to find out how to get started.
