Who can benefit

We work with any pre-start business that is run by people who are resident in Northumberland. We are happy to work with individuals, partnerships and groups who may be planning to set up in business. We do not set a criteria as far as your business is concerned. Whether you are planning to run a social enterprise, a sole trader business, a partnership or a company we are happy to work with you.

If you are not sure whether we may be able to help you please contact us and we can arrange to meet up and discuss your needs.

By supporting people who have the passion and skills to build their business we hope that the whole community will benefit.

The following comments are from clients that we have worked with;

"Mark has provided a much needed sounding board; talking my enterprise idea through has helped me clarify in my own mind what is realistic and achievable alongside my family committments. It's good to know there is someone there completely impartial to support me. I especially appreciate the no pressure / no timescale approach, you don't feel as though there is someone looking over your shoulder trying to push things along". EK

"I have been working with the TEP for about one year and they have helped me enourmously in every aspect of my business. Mark has given me great encouragement and is always keen to help". CF

"Thanks you for listening to me woffle and moan this morning, I feel much better having talked everything through with somebody objectively". SB

"Thanks for the information and time spent this morning, it's much appreciated. I really found this useful and it has given me quite a few things to follow up on. I will be in touch soon to let you know how I am progressing". LT
