Business Start Up Help & Advice
The business support NLEL offers can take many forms, depending on the need of the individual or organisation.
We have a wide range of business experience in the office and a vast number of contacts. If we can’t help you ourselves, we usually know somebody who can.
We are happy to support anyone with a business idea, although our main focus has been with social enterprises and community organisations. Our support is geared towards helping people see the issues they face from a business viewpoint.
To survive, any organisation needs to be financially viable and this is frequently a source of worry to people whose objectives are primarily directed towards achieving social benefit.
If you have a business problem and feel that NLEL might be able to help, please come and talk to us. If we can help, we will, and if we can’t then we’ll tell you so!
