Huntingdonshire District Council has launched a new programme that offers free support to entrepreneurs in the area. 

The scheme is open to budding business owners who have an idea, as well as those who have already started a business and want it to develop and grow.

The programme will have free business support that will help people develop their ideas, increase business survivability and access experts and peer group support.

There will also be a range of workshops and one-to-one sessions in understanding finances, operations to marketing skills and more.

The business accelerator has come from funding between Huntingdonshire District Council and Deyton Bell, who have been commissioned to deliver a 12-month programme for new and existing businesses.

Cllr Sam Wakeford, Executive Councillor for Jobs, Economy and Housing at Huntingdonshire District Council, said that the programme will "help to grow an even more prosperous business community within Huntingdonshire."
