Business Advice

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 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 people who are experienced and trained to help.
 
Business Link Yorkshire offer practical advice for businesses starting up or expanding. The Business Link website offers a comprehensive guide to your business from financial assistance available to employing and training staff to sales and marketing advice.
 
Yorkshire Forward offer advice and support for businesses whether you are starting a business, wanting to improve your business, need funding or support with redundancies.
