Welcome
We’re here to help
We know that starting and running a new business can be quite daunting – sometimes you may feel quite isolated and not sure what to do next, so it’s our aim to help you every step of the way and make the whole process easier for you.
Whether you are a pre-start or established small/medium sized business based in North Somerset, our business counsellors are here to support you and your business.
We are a trusted local provider, offering expert and impartial advice, guidance, training and networking opportunities to help you build the foundations you need to establish and develop a successful and sustainable business. Even better most of our services are fully subsidised so that there is no direct cost to you.
What to expect
Starting with an initial appointment we can talk through your business idea or business issues (you can bring a friend or family member with you to your appointment if you wish), we will work through the huge amount of information relating to setting up and running a business, we will signpost you to additional helpful resources (a lot can be found on this website), and we will make it clear what we can offer and what you need to do.
We work with other providers like North Somerset Council, West of England Growth Hub and Business Donut, whose specialist information you will also be able to access.
Where to find us
Based at The Hive, we are ideally placed to meet prospective and established business owners who are welcome to participate in the specialist workshops and courses that we run throughout the year. The Hive has free onsite parking, cycle sheds, electric charging points, is near to a bus route. and there is plenty of flexible workspace and meeting rooms available to hire if you need them.
Have a browse around our website and enjoy the free business resources that you can use, or if you can’t find what you’re looking for, or would rather speak to someone face-to-face, call Hazel on 01934 418118 and we will arrange an appointment for you to meet up with one of our business counsellors.
Let’s chat
We’d love to help you and your business, so please do get in touch with us..
However, if you don’t need us at the moment, you know where we are – we’ve been providing business advice across North Somerset for over 35 years and we’re not going anywhere!
