Tell you about the New Enterprise Allowance scheme which supports people as they move from benefits to self employment (we also deliver this service)

Developing an innovative idea
On behalf of North Tyneside Council, our friendly businesses advisors work with people like you to help them explore if they can work for themselves, perhaps developing a hobby or a work skill.
All of our support is free and you can access regular online workshops, and chat to an advisor on the phone.
Register for free with Business Factory Online, our 24/7 portal which gives you access to oodles of factsheets, videos and support as well as a fun business idea finder tool and a comprehensive business planning tool.
