BUDDING entrepreneurs looking to start their own business can attend a Busi­ ness Briefing Session.


The free events, to be held at The Printworks, in Clitheroe, have been organised by Rib­ ble Valley Enterprise Agency and run from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Mondays, September 12th and September 26th.


They will include information


and advice on starting a new business, from market research to financial plan­ ning, and an overview of how the Ribble Valley Enterprise Agency can be of assistance.


Pat Wallis, director of Ribble Valley Enterprise Agency, said: “There are a lot of real­ ly enthusiastic people with excellent business ideas in East Lancashire and we want


to help them turn their dreams into reality.
