LOCAL entrepreneurs who are looking to take their first steps in the business world can apply to benefit from a new £75 million fund launched by the Small Business Service.
The money known as incubator funds will be passed on to non-profit making organisations which will set up incubator schemes to help people looking to set up their own business.
It is intended that the incubators will provide access to early-stage finance, networking and peer group support, effective technological infrastructure and access to small workspace units on flexible terms.
Interested parties can apply for loans by phoning the Business Link Contact Centre on 0845 600 9006.
