If you do live or work in these areas you may be eligible for a package of support and advice such as:

  • Feasibility studies
  • Business plans for community enterprises
  • Legal forms and help with incorporation
  • Financial modelling to establish the viability of projects
  • Finance structuring and negotiations
  • Marketing, sales and contracting
  • Employing staff and going for growth
  • Training, Organisational Development and Capacity Building

For an informal chat about how you could develop your ideas why not ring us now on 01274 739994.

In addition to receiving one to one support from a business coach you can also learn about starting a community business on our series of workshops called ‘Idea, plan and action.’ These are five workshops aimed at supporting you to start your business.  The workshops are very practical and are a mixture of information gathering and action planning. The courses are being run at different locations around the Bradford area, for further information about locations, dates and course visit our events page.
