ASPIRING entrepreneurs can help make their dreams become reality by tapping into the expertise of an enterprise agency.

Sasda, the enterprise agency for the former Sedgefield Borough Council, is offering free courses in the form of training workshops to help those who are ready to take the first steps into business, or who are thinking of turning a hobby into a career.

Help is available from a number of Sasda partners and other agencies, and covers issues from bookkeeping and where to receive financial backing to marketing plans and implementation.

Tracey Davis, SASDA prestart business coach, said: “Help and support for budding new businesses are vital elements in creating lasting success.

“Small business is a real driver for economic recovery.”
