ASPIRING business people considering setting up their own enterprise have been encouraged to attend an awareness event where they will have the chance to win £500.
The Gala Theatre, in Durham, will stage the high point of a series of Enterprise Awareness events sponsored by Business Link, which are being held throughout County Durham during October and November.
The events are designed to help those people who are considering starting or have recently started their own business.
The enterprise event is free to visitors and will feature guest speakers, a start-up exhibition where visitors can discuss their business needs with experts, and some case studies examining how other people have fared in getting their business started.
To encourage people to come along, organisers CDC Enterprise Agency and Teesdale Enterprise Agency, are offering a £500 prize to the best-planned new business.
The award will be given in addition to any grants and business assistance which may be available.
The Gala Theatre event will be a rolling programme running from 10.30am to 5pm.
To reserve your place contact Norma Johnson on 0191-374 4000.
