The Welsh Government has opened a new £6.5 million initiative designed to support the growth of small businesses operating in Wales.
The Business Wales One Stop Shop is being delivered by a consortium comprising Business in Focus, Centre for Business, Antur Teifi and Menter a Busnes. The service is being delivered from offices located in Aberystwyth, Bangor, Brecon, Swansea, Llanelli, Newport, Newtown, Pembroke Dock, St Asaph, Treforest and Wrexham.
Established businesses can access various forms of assistance including Business Wales Mentoring, which was recently launched by the Welsh Government, to provide mentoring support from a diverse range of experienced business people.
The creation of a dedicated support service for small enterprises was one of the recommendations outlined in the Micro Business Report for Wales, prepared by an independent group appointed by Business Minister Edwina Hart.
The Minister has said that she intends to establish a Strategic Board to oversee the delivery of the service and provide strategic advice on the needs of SMEs in Wales to ensure continuous development and improvement.
