Business Information Point We’ve been helping people start and stay in business throughout the South West for over 30 years. That’s a fantastic result, if we do say so ourselves.

We’ve been helping people start and stay in business throughout the South West for over 20 years. Since setting up as an enterprise agency in 1993, we have worked tirelessly to support self-employed individuals and small businesses with our blend of practical, down-to-earth advice and interactive workshops. We’re a friendly bunch, and between us we have more years of business experience than we ca

re to admit. Being able to advise, support and inspire people to develop and grow sustainable and profitable businesses is what gets us up in the morning (and not the strong coffee, honest). In the last three years alone we’ve helped over 1,300 people realise their dream of becoming self-employed. More importantly though, we’re proud to say that over 90% of those that start trading are still doing so after six months. Many of these continue to grow and provide employment opportunities for the local communities. Our mission for the future is to continue to passionately deliver the most accessible business support services in the south west, empowering people to start and grow financially sustainable businesses. Basically, we’re here to help.
