THE Chartered Accountants UHY Hacker Young recently reported that the WA1
postcode was one of only three places outside of London in the UK top 20, to
start a business.
This is a remarkable achievement for the town which consistently punches
above its weight in the commercial world.

There is a range of advice available to assist in business start-up from
public bodies, professional services firms, chambers of commerce and financial
institutions.
In addition there are many initiatives which can support new companies with
business advice, training and development of their ideas, mostly free.
Financial support may also be forthcoming too, directly in the form of
supported loans or through resources such as business incubation.
If you are considering a start-up some basic knowledge is useful; finance,
business planning, marketing and increasingly social media use, this can all be
developed through education and training.
To succeed you need to have a good idea and the capability and determination
to deliver it. If this sounds daunting then talk to the people that provide
support, they will help you through this process.
Timing-wise now’s promising, a growing economy and strong sector recovery in
the region. Warrington’s business environment is a growing success.
