The South Derbyshire Business Advice Service was launched in 2012. The Service offers free, independent, face-to-face, one-to-one business advice to entrepreneurs and companies in the District (or those planning to relocate to, or establish in the District). It complements support provided by agencies and organisations such as the Department for International Trade and the D2N2 Growth Hub, along with specific business support projects. The service raises awareness and make referrals to these other forms of assistance, aiming to maximise their take up and so the benefits for South Derbyshire. It particularly benefits new start and smaller businesses which are not in a position to pay for business advice services from commercial providers. The service consists of one-to-one, face-to-face, independent advice to new and established businesses, workshops/training for groups of businesses, such as for those 'thinking of starting a business' and 'Surgery' sessions, as appropriate, particularly for new start businesses.
