The business information service, Business Eye, will be visiting communities across Pembrokeshire to provide individuals with all the business information they need to start or develop their businesses in the new year.
The free business information includes details about specialist business advice, grants and finance schemes that are available, as well as fast and free access to mailing lists and company or market information from a variety of sources. "The rural surgeries will be open to business people in Pembrokeshire from January 16th and will be held in nine Pembrokeshire towns over three weeks" said Tim Fletcher, Pembrokeshire Business Eye centre manager.
"Business Information Officers will be available between 2 pm and 7 pm for confidential and unbiased appointments to discuss their business issues."
The surgeries are available to individuals thinking about starting a business and existing businesses considering their development needs.
Those who provide a service to SMEs (small/ medium-sized enterprises) such as accountants and business advisors working on behalf of their clients are also most welcome.
Appointments will be available in January at St. Davids, Fishguard, Newport, Crymych, Narberth, Haverfordwest, Pembroke, Tenby and Milford Haven.
Business Eye is also putting together a directory of business support providers in Wales.
It is asking consultants and businesses, which provide a service to SMEs within Pembrokeshire, to register their details on the Business Eye website http://www.businesseye.org.uk">www.businesseye.org.uk to take advantage of the free advertising opportunities.
