BUSINESS Link York and North Yorkshire has introduced a new identity on the Internet.

The organisation, which has provided help, advice and information to thousands of small and medium-sized business since it was established in 1996, has launched a website www.here4business.co.uk.

Helen West, chief executive at Business Link York and North Yorkshire, said: "Over the past few months we have been building on the extensive range of business information and advice services we provide.

"Our aim is to ensure that these services are readily accessible through use of the latest developments and advances in technology."

Businesses can access on-line information and advice 24-hours a day through the website, and by visiting the site until the end of October they can enter their details free of charge in the Business Link York and North Yorkshire on-line business directory.

The directory provided business with the facility to promote their services and products to a worldwide audience.
