Companies looking to make the most of the opportunities presented by the end of the recession have been invited to a free business growth acceleration seminar in Birmingham.

The event, hosted by BTG McInnes Corporate Finance and consultants The Growth Machine on February 25, will cover topics including identifying the right time to develop a new growth curve, financial options to help expansion, active sales development and website optimisation.

Speakers will include Iain Lownes, partner at BTG McInnes Corporate Finance which is part of the Begbies Traynor Group, Stuart Roberts and Peter Wilcock of The Growth Machine and Paul Shields of Rocketfish.

Iain Lownes said: "As we start to come out of the recession that has so  dominated the last two years, we need to take time out to reflect on our potential to drive the business forward in the future.

"Companies that do nothing different will fall behind those that embrace change and modern thinking and create a competitive advantage in tough, competitive markets.

"Our seminar will address some of the key issues facing business owners as we start to turn the corner."
