THE START of a new year can be a good time for business owners to take stock and look at their options for the future.
Whatever your plans and ambitions, a Business Gateway adviser can help by highlighting any relevant support available.
This could be by identifying sources of funding, making useful connections, introducing specialist sources of advice or linking businesses with a mentor. The funding landscape changes regularly and a Business Gateway adviser can help keep local businesses up to date about what is available to them. New loan funds have recently become available to micro businesses, as well as grant funding for businesses with growth ambitions and the Business Gateway team is happy to explain what these funds can cover and how to apply.
