Local Support for Business Start Ups

Whether you’re a new start-up business or an established business looking to grow, we can offer advice, guidance and support to help you succeed.

Our Chamber Support Team of experienced, independent accredited advisers are on hand to give impartial, confidential advice and guidance. The Chamber services include Pre-Start, Start-Up (0-2 years) and Established (2+ years)

Pre-Start and Start-Up

Starting your own business can often be a daunting experience and making sure you have covered all the necessary aspects before you take the leap is essential.

In partnership with a number of Local Authorities across Kent, we offer a series of “FREE Starting in Business” workshops. These are designed for anyone in the early stages of considering self employment or starting their own business. The workshops cover:

  • Your business idea, practical tips and common mistakes, marketing, managing money and business planning, as well as where to go for more help

In addition to the workshops, we also offer a FREE 1:1 Business Advice session with our accredited advisers for individuals who want additional support and advice in the early stages of self employment or setting up their business.

We can also offer members a low cost high quality package of ongoing support to suit your needs in areas such as:

  • Business Plans
  • Marketing Plans
  • Cash Flow Forecasts
  • Business Reviews
  • HR Policies and Procedures

For more information or to book a place on one of our workshops or advice sessions, call our team in Ashford on 01233 503838 or Maidstone 01622 695544
