Business Gateway

'When I initially came up with the idea to start my own business, I felt very daunted by the gaps in my knowledge. I approached Business Gateway who talked me through the whole process of setting up my business including things such as setting up in the right business format, searching for the correct property and what records to keep. I needed to raise a certain level of funding and was advised by my advisor that in this current climate a strong business plan would be required. I worked with my advisor to develop this business plan and in the process ensured I was prepared and aware of the various aspects required to set up my business. The business plan was presented to the bank, and after a few nervous days, my funding was approved. I feel that without Business Gateways help and support I would never have got my business off the ground.'
