Setting out on your own to start a new business can be a minefield of regulations, laws and complex procedures but the Council’s Economic Development Service are on hand to help guide you through the start-up maze.
Many people dream of starting up their own business but are too afraid, or don’t have the know-how to go for it – that’s why our free, dedicated guidance can be so important in making your vision a reality.
We want to speak with you if you have an idea for a business or are currently running your own small business and are looking to grow. Our team can offer advice on getting started, the rules and regulations, funding, investment, training, writing a business plan or even just an informal chat about your initial idea.
We’ve got all aspects of starting a business covered and can help you through the process with ongoing support and expert guidance.
If you have a business idea, need to expand your company or want to relocate to Gateshead the team will be pleased to provide impartial advice and support.
