What’s involved?

We aim to support anyone over the age of 25 and living in Blaenau Gwent with starting and running their own business.
Running a business can involve doing self-employed work or setting up your own company.

We explain the pros and cons of each and what’s involved through personalised 1-to-1 business mentoring and business support.

Could you start your own business?

Maybe you’ve never considered self-employment before, so you don’t know what’s involved.
Or, perhaps you have a great business idea, but you don’t know how to take the next steps.

If this is you, then don’t worry.

Our team are here to discuss your business ideas and go through everything that is needed to start a business.
