starting in business
We aim to offer hands on, practical support to anyone wishing to a start in business in Derwentside.
As profit is not our objective, we can be independent and offer unbiased practical advice tailored to your needs.
We can help you asses the viability of your business idea and as necessary develop your business plan. Our three coaches, Ian Hodgson, Gillian Khachikian and Anne Livesey are experienced enterprise coaches who have all run their own businesses and are here to support you every step of the way to get your business up and running.
Please call us on 01207 580011 or email: info@derwentsideenterprise.co.uk for an informal chat or to make an appointment.
To help start your business a series of courses and events are available. Please refer to the Courses and Events pages.
Our Enterprise Club runs every Wednesday from January 2012 10.30 am 'til 12 noon. It’s an informal get together at the Agency of people thinking about setting up a business; individuals already on the business planning journey, and existing business owners. All our coaches are on hand for a chat, there are always refreshments and a friendly ear to help you research your business, service and products. No booking required, just turn up at Steel House.
