Are you a small businesses based in East London? :: Worried about how  to survive the changes in your region? :: With the right advice you can SHINE!

The Challenge

As well as the run-up to the 2012 Olympics, building and regeneration is going on across the whole region, including schools refurbishment, new town centres and the Thames Gateway developments. Put this in the context of the modernisation of procurement that is sweeping through the public sector and it is clear that as a local business, you can expect to face a challenging future. You need to respond to these changes, or you may not survive.

Over the past 2-3 years, the London Borough of Newham has been helping local companies who want to adopt e-trading. The scheme, managed by Imaginist, with the e-commerce technology provided by @UK PLC, has been picked up by over 150 companies, many of which have changed the way they do business and are now trading electronically. Others are using their interactive websites to attract enquiries and respond to requests for quotations.

Now this scheme has been incorporated into a new Newham Business Legacy Initiative, pulling together business advice from the East London Small Business Centre, supply chain advice and training from SupplyNewham and e-commerce from us: Business Online.

If you are a Newham-based small or medium sized company, you can obtain a domain name and a website designed by a professional company, completely free for a year.

This includes an initial diagnostic meeting, training and support to understand the role of e-commerce in your business, your own domain name and website, with professional web designers online and at the end of a telephone to work with you to build your own trading site.
