We work with local partnership organisations to assist people to start new businesses, but we don't employ business advisors directly.
The Stoke and Staffordshire Business Helpline can answer a wide range of questions and will signpost you to organisations that can help you protect your ideas or support you to grow. They can also advise on a wide range of funding options and implication of regulations that may affect you.
The Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce offer a wide range of business and enterprise advice.
