Free advice and support for new businesses

6 Feb 2008

Did you know that the UK’s 3.7 million small businesses represent 99% of all businesses?  Did you also know that a third of new businesses fail?  So, for anyone thinking of starting a business, or has recently started one, why not pay a visit to Oxfordshire Business Enterprises (OBE).  OBE provides Oxfordshire-based entrepreneurs with free high quality, expert advice on every aspect of starting or running a new business.  They really can help you turn your business dreams into a reality. 

Advice from OBE comes in several forms; the most popular being through one-to-one advice sessions with expert business mentors offering a wealth of experience from running their own businesses.  Sessions are free and confidential, and can help tackle any business issues, such as finance, VAT, sales or marketing.  OBE also runs a series of events that focus on some of the issues facing new businesses.
