We continue to work hard to provide the right support to make life easier for small and medium sized business everywhere.<\/p>
<\/p>
www.gov.uk is the home for Government services and information online.

The website www.greatbusiness.gov.uk also provides support and advice for anyone trying to start or grow a business.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition to on-line support, the Business Support Helpline is available to provide a quick response on queries about starting a business, or a personalised and in-depth advice service for more complex needs.<\/p>
<\/p>
Cumbria has benefitted from a number of support schemes. The Start-Up Loan Scheme has provided business advice and 43 loans with a value of £275,000 to people starting a business.
