Mid and East Antrim Borough Council to host Open Evenings for new business start-ups

Mid and East Antrim Borough Council in partnership with Ballymena Business Centre Ltd, Carrickfergus Enterprise and LEDCOM will host ‘Start a Business Information Evenings’ on Thursday 21 November from 5.30pm to 7pm as part of a Northern Ireland council-wide initiative for anyone thinking about starting their own business.

This project is part funded by Invest Northern Ireland and the European Regional Development Fund under the Investment for Growth and Jobs Northern Ireland (2014-2020) Programme.

Mid and East Antrim Borough Council has joined forces with council areas across Northern Ireland aimed at providing would-be entrepreneurs with the chance to speak to a business advisor about their business idea and find out how the Go For It Programme can help them.

Nicola Rowles, Head of Economic Development at Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, said: “Ballymena Business Centre Ltd, Carrickfergus Enterprise and LEDCOM have vast experience in helping budding entrepreneurs in the local area turn their dreams of running their own business into a reality.

“We would encourage anyone who has an idea for a business to come along and meet an experienced business advisor for a free, no-obligation opportunity to discuss how the Go For It Programme can really help their business idea take off.”

The Go For It programme is delivered free of charge by a team of experienced business mentors through Northern Ireland’s wide network of enterprise agencies. It combines expert advice with help to develop a robust business plan to turn ideas into a commercial enterprise.
