Free business start-up programme launched in Eastbourne
The Local Enterprise and Apprenticeship Platform (LEAP) programme is under The Business Support in Eastbourne project that has received £77,000 from the government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
With the next programme starting on May 22 and May 23, entrepreneurs in Eastbourne have just a few days left to register. By doing this, they will access a free programme of tailored support packed with workshops, one-to-one mentoring and networking to help them create a robust business plan and a local support network. There is also the opportunity to win £2,500 towards start-up costs.

Hide AdCurrent LEAP client Corinna Kitchen said: “I had no idea that this sort of support was available for new business entrepreneurs - I am so glad I saw the advert.
“I am finding it such an important experience. It’s giving me so much more confidence in what I am doing and real hope that I may be able to make it happen.
“I am grateful to have the guidance from knowledgeable and passionate mentors and I feel really supported in what I am doing.
“It’s also really good to meet other people on the workshops who understand what I am going through and are facing the same challenges as they get their businesses underway.”
