Enterprising Coventry is an exciting and flexible initiative providing a wide range of support services to help you start your own business, assist an existing business or help you move into work.

Enterprising Coventry will promote and encourage prosperity in Coventry, help generate wealth and make Coventry a great place to do business.

Enterprising Coventry is part of the Coventry Partnership, the umbrella group for organisations who have agreed to work together to promote and improve the city of Coventry as a place to live, work or play.

How can it help me?

The Enterprising Coventry scheme is funded by the Government run Local Economic Growth Initiative. Coventry was successful in winning over £12 million to work with local people and businesses to help transform Coventry into a city of enterprise. Funding has now been secure until 2011. Coventry was one of 20 areas across the country to have won LEGI funding, and the only one in the West Midlands.

At the heart of the Enterprising Coventry programme is its work to engage and inspire local people to believe they can fulfil their dreams. If you live or are looking to start a business in the Enterprising Coventry areas of the city, you will be able to access a range of co-ordinated, high quality services that will:

• Support you to start your own business
• Grow existing business
• Help you move into employment
