All sorts of support, all kinds of businesses
We know that every business is different - that's why we offer a wide range of services by a team of dedicated business advisors, each with their own specialist knowledge and skills.
We believe that because we are here, many businesses who would otherwise never have started or fallen by the wayside have remained strong and are actively contributing to the local economy, many as local employers.
A total of 96 per cent of firms which have benefitted from free advice offered by the agency have survived their first 12 months and 72 per cent have achieved at least three years in business.
