Business advice and mentoring

In the past two years over 100 businesses have been successfully started with some receiving national recognition/coverage. All these businesses have benefited from expert and experienced advisers.

Our pre-start-up advisers can help you to consider:

• your ideas
• what is motivating you to start your own business
• what skills you have in order to start your business
• Our resident Business advisers can take you through all stages of business planning providing specific and confidential advice including finance, business planning and marketing.

In addition to our full-time Spark team, we also have links with a range of specialist external advisers including solicitors, accountants, intellectual property (ip) experts, marketing and business mentors to give you and your business all the help you need.
