Business Startups
Supporting world-leading companies and SMEs.
Across the region, Local Enterprise Offices and agencies and local councils provide a range of services to support people who want to start up or grow a business.
The supports range from providing an initial “First Stop Shop” service. Individuals can receive advice on the steps involved in setting up a business to the provision of start up grants, advice and guidance on the establishment of new businesses or expansion of an existing business. Business support can also provide a range of soft supports such as training and business mentoring advice.
