Starting Out

Our business start-up process is a mix of training, practical assistance and where eligible, financial support aimed at helping you to plan, set up and run your own business in South Durham.

 

An initial appointment with an Business Advisor to discuss:

  • Your business idea

Once you start trading we will help you to:
