Arundel is a small town that takes a lot of visitors, which shapes almost every business in it. Independent shops, galleries, antiques, places to eat and stay, tour operators and the events that fill the summer. Most of them are tiny, most are seasonal to some degree, and almost all of them take money online before the customer ever arrives.
Alongside that sits a quieter group: consultants, designers, therapists and small professional practices working from an office over a shop or a room at home. Different work, same problem, which is that there is nobody to ask when something looks wrong.
If you take bookings and deposits, your customers are the target as much as you are. A criminal who gets into a booking inbox does not need to break anything. They wait, read, and then reply to a real enquiry with real details and their own bank account. The customer pays, and the first you hear of it is somebody arriving expecting a room. Multi-factor authentication on the inbox stops most of that, and it takes about ten minutes to switch on.
The second thing is card and customer data. A very small business handling payments and personal details has the same legal duties as a large one, and often a much less tidy setup: a spreadsheet of guests, a shared email password, a card terminal nobody has looked at since it arrived. None of that is difficult to put right once somebody has walked you through it.
For the charities and heritage organisations, add donor data and volunteers. Volunteers are wonderful and they turn over constantly, which makes joining and leaving properly the single most useful thing to get right.

The quiet months, without question. Training in February is calm, cheap in attention and means the habits are in place before the season starts. It also gives you time to sort the dull but important things, like getting multi-factor authentication onto the booking inbox, while nobody is waiting at the counter.
A full workshop probably is, and we will say so. For a team that size the sensible starting point is usually the learning portal, which has a minimum of ten people, or a single session shared with another local business. Ask and we will tell you honestly which of those fits, or whether the free resources will do the job on their own.
