Creative Leicestershire are running events for small arts, media and design businesses this autumn starting in Coalville and Loughborough. If you run a small arts, design or media business you can drop in for business advice, information on funding and on training. You can also find out about starting your own creative business. Staff from Creative Leicestershire, Business Link, your local enterprise agency and your local authority will be there and will give a short introduction to what they all offer at 6.45pm each evening. The events are free, with drinks and nibbles available, but please let us know you are coming by emailing aminton@leics.gov.uk
These events are also a chance to find out more about the Creative Leicestershire Development Bursary scheme which provides £2000 to 15 small businesses each year to develop and improve their performance. Full information on how to apply is available at http://www.creativeleicestershire.org.uk/ . The deadline for applications this year is mid-day on 10 October. If you want to apply you will need to contact our Business Adviser, Fred Brookes. You can book a 15 minute meeting with Fred at either of the events by emailing fbrookes@leics.gov.uk.
