Enterprise Agencies
Local Enterprise Agencies are companies limited by guarantee, typically set up as partnerships between the private and public sectors.
The private sector generally retains the largest sponsorship stake, and almost invariably the Enterprise Agency will be chaired by a local business person. Enterprise Agencies have great in-depth experience of the local small and medium enterprise economy, with the ability to draw on a local network of specialist skills, such as accountants, lawyers and bankers.
The main role of the Enterprise Agencies is to help establish small businesses, and to encourage the growth of existing businesses within their particular area by being able to quickly identify and respond to the needs of their local business community. Enterprise Agencies encourage sound economic growth and the generation of employment for their area.
