It can be valuable to those at the start of their journey toward running an enterprise to seek advice first before setting up the venture and looking for start up funding for it.
This is because funding is usually unobtainable without the evidence of a well developed , workable idea and a good business plan behind it. It may be that that what is really needed to start things off is not money as such, but space from which to operate. If that is the case, the Council may be able to help you in other ways.
