Small Business Support
Business Information Point have been providing high-quality business support and advice across Devon for over 30 years.
We have a team of highly experienced business advisors who have a wealth of knowledge and expertise working to help people start or grow their businesses. All of our business advisors have a wide-ranging knowledge of many business sectors and types, from pre-starts to larger enterprises, and understand the challenges that businesses face as they start and grow.
At any one time, we are usually working on a number of business support programmes offering various types of support for new and existing businesses. This support is normally fully funded (depending on eligibility criteria) through various sources such as local authorities as well as Government funding.
The business support we provide usually includes one-to-one advice with one of our experienced advisors, complemented by a variety of business skills workshops and online learning.
