Don Foster hails entrepreneurial spirit in Bath

The launch of new businesslink.gov.uk online services at the start of ‘Global Entrepreneurship Week’ has been welcomed by Don Foster MP as a boost for Bath’s entrepreneurs.

Providing a single point of contact for businesses and start-ups seeking high-quality information and support, the website will offer two critical new services that will help entrepreneurs to drive business growth:

• My New Business, which provides support on how best to set up a new business; and
• The Growth and Improvement Service, which is designed to be the first place to go for essential information, support and services for businesses new and old.

Commenting Don Foster said, “We need to do everything that we can to help entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses - and create jobs for local people here in Bath.

He continued, “I was especially pleased to see the service embracing online innovations such as cloud computing and social media.

“This will make a real practical difference to existing business owners and people thinking of starting their own firm in Bath. We already have many great local businesses here and I want to see more of them.”
