So you’re thinking of starting a business? 

Last year, we at Business Link helped start more than 3,500 new businesses in the East of England. Here at Business Link, we’re really quite good at helping people just like you to start a business. Last year alone, over 3500 new enterprises were launched with the support of our advisers and start-up gurus, which led to over 5,600 new jobs. That’s good news for local businesses and local people, but also something that we are all proud of.

The new Business Link service

In November 2011 your local Business Link is changing to a national web-based service.  The Business Link website will be updated to provide easy-to-use, tailored information to help you start-up, improve or grow your business.

If you are looking to start a business, a whole new area of the Business Link website, called ‘My New Business’, will provide tailored information and training to guide you through the process.

But don’t wait until November – visit www.businesslink.gov.uk today.

Business Link services in the East of England will continue until 25 November 2011, so if you have a business question, please contact us on 08457 17 16 15.  Our start-up workshops will continue until 10 November and although limited, we may still have places to offer in certain areas, please ring 0845 601 1000 for availability.
