Business novices can gain valuable experience before setting out on their own.

Entrepreneurs in Brighton, Hove and Lewes are being offered the chance to study for an NVQ in business skills to help their ventures become successful.

Run by the Enterprise Agency, the course is subsidised by the South-East England Development Agency and Sussex Learning and Skills Council.

The monthly programme covers such topics as finance, business planning and marketing and is designed to help increase business results while taking away some of the concerns newcomers may have. For further details, contact the enterprise agency on info@bnbusiness.co.uk or 01273 666800.
