Start-up support - an overview

There are established business support networks specifically for black and minority ethnic businesses that provide information about starting a business, how to get finance and advice and other help once the business is up and running. This support includes:

• The African Caribbean Business Network (ACBN) provides a business network helping African and Caribbean owned businesses in the UK.
• The National Black Women's Network (NBWN) offers consultation and support for personal achievement and professional development - find out about business networking events near you.

You can also access free start-up business support from your local council. If you have a great idea but you're not sure how to turn it into a business, or you have already started out in business and require mentorship on your next steps, Go Succeed Start experts will help you to create a business plan, seek funding and put all the foundations in place to get your business up and running.
