			<p class="csintro">To find out how ICT can boost your business, you need to talk to an expert. An ICT consultant will explore options with you; this will help form a bespoke strategy on how innovative use of ICT could improve your overall business performance.

</p>
			<p>A consultant will look at every aspect of your business, advising on software, hardware, systems and how to improve your processes through ICT. They will take time to understand how your business works, consider what changes you would like to see, and how best ICT can take your business forward.</p>
<p>Advice from experts has already helped a significant number of small businesses in the county. Businesses like NXG Outdoor Pursuits, based in Louth, providing outdoor activities and personal fitness training. Founder Chris Kirk said:</p>
<p>"I first learnt about&nbsp;Onlincolnshire from a business start-up event in Lincoln. I received an ICT consultation which was really useful and gave my business clear direction on how to take the recommendation forward. Being based in such a rural and remote location it''s essential to embrace technology. 75% of my business comes from the website. I would urge any small business out there to get in touch with Onlincolnshire. The help is there and it''s really straightforward".</p>
