Last week, we wrote about the Government Restart Grant, so it’s only fitting to focus on the workshops and schemes that Somerset West and Taunton specifically offer, both post-COVID-19 related and not.
There are several support schemes to help local start-up businesses in Somerset, and after the year businesses have had (particularly small ones) we thought it a good idea to highlight some of the schemes on offer to you, to give your business the support and possibility you deserve.
Somerset Business Recovery Survey 2021
Somerset Local Authorities are working together to listen to the voices of local businesses, through a vital survey, which will help them to understand and respond to local businesses’ needs after the impact of COVID-19.
The survey will provide much needed insight, which will help form an approach to economic recovery in Somerset, including the support that businesses now need.
Start-Up Support Package: Business West
Somerset Councils are running a series of business start-up sessions on Business West.
They are open to any Somerset residents looking to set up and run their own business, each covering a different topic area. These different workshop topics, are tailored for people who want expert advice on more specific areas of their business, and to help you “get the groundwork nailed and your first customer on the books.” They range from ‘Cyber Security’ to ‘Access to Funding’.
