Start Your Own Business

Blackpool has long had a reputation for creating entrepreneurs – people with bright ideas who are prepared to turn them into viable businesses.

Get Started is Intensive Start Up Support and is part funded by the North West Regional Development Agency and the European Union. Part of the BlackpoolUnlimited.com philosophy is to re-ignite business confidence in Blackpool in order to create a new generation of entrepreneurs.  To do that, we need to ensure that people starting up in business have all the help they need.

Get Started is a business start up service tailored for people in Blackpool and offering a comprehensive package of support.  A combination of quality advice, training, networking, mentoring and start up finance will help new businesses to survive those difficult early months of trading.  This will be delivered entirely by Orvia. who have vast experience of knowing what it takes for individuals to unlock their potential.

A group of trained advisors are based at FYCreatives 154 - 158 Church St, Blackpool FY1 3PS. They have been kick-starting hundreds of new businesses in Blackpool over the past three years.

To contact an advisor please call 01253 477147.
