GOT a business idea? Want to know how to start a business in Waverley? Waverley Borough Council has teamed up with Enterprise First to produce a Start Your Own Business book covering every aspect of starting a business in Waverley.

Whatever your new or proposed business venture, you’ll find the small business advice and information you need to realise your small business idea and open your own company.

Audrey Kelly, owner of Farnham Wholefoods, said: “The advice and support I’ve had from Enterprise First has been invaluable in helping me start and grow the business. The book is such a handy way of finding the information I need – for example, writing a business plan or seeking finance.

“I hope as many people as possible take advantage of this free support.

The book is available to download free on the Waverley Borough Council website. According to a council spokesman, it is packed with useful hints and tips, relevant, easy-to-read guides, real-life examples, and “lots of contacts to help you get off to the best possible start”.

Councillor Jim Edwards, Waverley Borough Council’s portfolio holder for economic and community development, said: “Starting your own business has risks, but get it right and the rewards will follow. Taking advantage of the advice and information available to you will help you to minimise the risks and maximise your opportunities.

“The new book is a brilliant resource that we can now put in the hands of those who are thinking about starting a new business or looking to grow. From information about tax to marketing, there’s lots to get you going.

“And we’ll still be offering support through advice from Enterprise First, networking and learning events across the borough, and through our partnership with Business South.”
