Though everything comes at a price.
It's 'free' to them, but costs the tax payers who fund it.
I'd like to know the long term success rates, for busineses who recieve start up grants.
The other year I mentioned I'd seen a local person on a website, being presented with a cheque, to start up a public relations company. When asked, a relatively short time later, it was apparently no longer trading, sadly.
First rule of business.
Offer people something they want, and if you offer it at a competitive price, you'll be a success.
That applies if you start with nowt, or are given a ten grand start up grant, and 'free' office space above a once thriving market hall.
