Talk to one of our Business Developers
We know from experience that a lot of you have questions you need answered before joining The Kitchen. Is this for me? How far do I have to be with my business? Can I join without an idea? What help will I get? What do I have to do? And so on.
Swing by for an informal chat with one of our Business Developers and ask your questions in a relaxed atmosphere.
