About Ian Goodyer

"Ian Goodyer is an exceptional business consultant offering high quality personal service. I have met Ian through Beepurple Entrepreneurship Network at the University of Brighton, where he helps students and graduates to put their entrepreneurial ideas into action. Ian helped me to develop my business idea, organise registration procedures and manage every day tasks such as using an accounting software. His passion and enthusiasm for helping young entrepreneurs was a real encouragement to proceed with my business start-up. I would strongly recommend Ian's work to anyone who is looking for professional and highly competent business consulting services."
