Even though this is not an area of our expertise, we are often asked where people can go for business support.

Here are a few ideas of where to start...

Business Link Yorkshire closed in November 2011 however enquiries can still made to the national Business Link service at http://www.businesslink.gov.uk

The UKTI-funded international trade services, that Business Link Yorkshire did provide, will continue and can be contacted by telephone, 0300 365 1000, email info@uktiyorkshire.co.uk or by visiting the UK Trade and Investment website http://www.ukti.gov.uk/yorkshireandthehumber

Those thinking of starting a business, or in the early stages of running a business, can access mentoring support at http://www.mentorsme.co.uk

Attached is a summary, provided by Business Link Yorkshire, of local business support suggested by each local authority in Yorkshire. The summary notes that this is not a comprehensive list and there is, of course, a lot of other business support available. You can read the document here business-support-services-local
