Free appointments now available at qNomics

Queen Mary University of London is offering a free business advice scheme for start-ups and entrepreneurs in London. Based at QMUL’s School of Economics and Finance, qNomics will provide expert consultancy to fledgling businesses in the financial and technological sectors.

From November 2015, start-ups and entrepreneurs are offered coaching in a range of areas including market strategy, business planning, accounting, funding, and regulatory compliance. The clinics are delivered by students from School of Economics and Finance, Queen Mary University of London, supported by professional advisers from KPMG, one of the world’s leading professional services companies, and Bovill – a consultancy service specialising in compliance and financial regulation.

The clinics take place at QMUL’s Mile End campus and Lincoln’s Inn Field campus and will run annually between October – April.

Leon Vinokur, senior lecturer at QMUL’s School of Economics and Finance, is leading the project, which he said “delivers practical business supports in areas like strategy, finance and compliance. It’s good news for our students because they get ‘real world’ consultancy experience, and its great news for London-based start-ups as they get high quality, expert advice at no cost. For Queen Mary, this just makes sense – our Mile End campus is in the heart of the Shoreditch start-up hub, so it’s a great example of the university engaging with the local community and economy.
