BD 01/07 - 19 January 2007

ELSBC has actively provided business start-up services in Barking & Dagenham for over 10 years and has an excellent reputation for assisting people with starting up sustainable small businesses in the Borough. 

The ELSBC recently expanded its operation in this area through the introduction of The Barking & Dagenham Small Business Centre (BDSBC), which this month opened impressive premises in Longbridge Road, Barking. 

This development means that the Barking & Dagenham business counselling team has now increased, allowing 60 additional clients the chance to attend a FREE one-to one meeting to work towards their dream of starting-up in business. 

The FREE 4 day business training course is now held fortnightly, meaning more people can gain a valuable insight and understanding in to what it means to be self-employed.

BDSBC has variety of finance available, which includes loan funding of up to £20k and Grant funding up to £3,000.

This is an exciting time for the borough of Barking & Dagenham and an ideal opportunity for the residents to take full advantage of the wide range of FREE services that the new Barking & Dagenham Small Business Centre has to offer.

So, if you are looking for business advice, training, finance or just simply want to speak to somebody about what self-employment could mean to you, then contact BDSBC for more information on 020 8911 3737 or visit us at www.bdsbc.org 

Barking & Dagenham Small Business Centre is supported by Barking & Dagenham Enterprises and the Barking & Dagenham Local Enterprise Growth Initiative (LEGI).
