Starting a business - Knowsley Fresh Start
A chemical plant worker

 

The Fresh Start Gateway was launched in 2005 by Knowsley Council and its partners to help local people who want to become self-employed or set up a small business. A free business advisor is on hand to provide support and advice to anyone who wishes to start up their own business. Business support is available for the first three years of trading. If you want to be your own boss or want to step into business call Knowsley Council's Fresh Start Gateway on 0151 477 4000 for free confidential advice.

 

Grants and funding

If you are starting a business in the Borough of Knowsley and fit our set criteria, you may qualify for grant funding of between £200 and £1800. Ok, it won't pay for everything, but £200 to £1800 can go a long way to helping with your start up costs. The Fresh Start Gateway offers continued support and mentoring even after your business has started trading. Our team may be able to link you into other post-start up support that is available.
