The council offers support to any existing or prospective business operating in the East Riding. The type of advice given is tailored to the specific needs of the business and can be anything that the business needs to know. Some typical subjects we speak to businesses about are:
-
how to start your business;
-
what kind of insurance your business needs;
-
what you need to do about tax and National Insurance (NI);
-
what financial records you need to keep;
-
how you go about employing people;
-
how do you find more customers;
-
how do you deal with suppliers.
Business advice is available in a variety of formats - at a drop-in Enterprise club, or at at a one to one session with a business adviser.
