Business Support

Whether you are starting a business or you have been running a business for several years, chances are you will need some help on specific or general issues.

We are here to help local business where we can. If we do not have the answer we will be able to signpost you to the correct organisation.

We aim to give assistance on most aspects of business. In addition to on-line information resources, such as the property search link, the Economic Regeneration Team will deal with your needs on an individual basis, offering advice and a referral service to a business advice agency where appropriate.

Thinking of starting a business?

One of the major obstacles in the decision to set up a small business and become self-employed is a fear of the hurdles and the regulations associated with “going it alone”, as well as a worry about the viability of the venture. These need not be something to be concerned about if they are tackled in an organised way and if advice and guidance is sought from specialists who are experienced and trained to help.

Running an existing business?

Whether you are planning to grow your business or would like to explore opportunities for business development, the ED Team can assist in addressing your queries by researching what type of support is available in the district and give you guidance on existing programmes that may suit your business needs.
