You should look at Business Link South East, who publish monthly newletters with details of available courses and advice for small businesses
Both Councils are constantly reviewing the help offered to you and there are seminars and many other support actions available. If you want more information, either contact the organisations direct via the web pages or ask here and I will find out more detail to help with your particular needs, and I will post more links and information as I get it.
Following enquiries about a simple form of advertising here, I have now put in place a 'Classifieds' Page. As you are aware our sponsors kindly help me to fund the domain, hosting and other costs of the site plus my time, allowing me to offer it as a community service for the area, and are provided with a page or pages dedicated to their business, prominent links on most pages and use of the front-page 'ticker' for announcements. The enquiries asked about a 'Small Ads' type of page on which simple 'one-liner' links or 'box' type adverts - or both could be placed. There are none of the other facilities that go with site sponsorship by our business partners but small and home businesses could use the site to promote their interests. The village website offers a cheap 24/7 placement for you with the advantage that search engines will pick you up and there is no reliance on someone finding a magazine or newspaper to locate your advert. Add to that the !exciting thought! that from your small office or spare room you are accessible world-wide through the web. It is there if you would like to use it.
If you want any more information from this site on what the Councils can do to help you build your business, or if any of you are interested in placing such 'ads' here please contact me using the Contact Form
