Property & Workspace
Are you looking for business property advice? Depending on the type of business you are will determine what kind of premises you need. If you need an office space and are just starting out, then you may want to investigate co-working spaces and other flexible options. If you need a shop unit or industrial premises, it may be worth getting professional advice to ensure that you can negotiate the right terms for your business.
As well as the physical space, you need to ensure that you mitigate any risks that come with it and hold adequate insurance. Our expert team can help point you in the right direction of support in this areas. In addition, we can provide business property advice to organisations that are looking to relocate to York and North Yorkshire. Whether you are a foreign-owned or UK business looking to expand, relocate or invest, Invest in York & North Yorkshire can help.
If you’re a manufacturing business that is looking to increase the use of technology and expand your business capabilities, the Made Smarter programme could help you access advice, support and even grant funding. Whether you are completely brand new to digital technology, or you have already started your digitalisation journey, you will be able to receive bespoke advice on anything from skills and leadership to innovation strategies.
York St John Enterprise Centre
The York St John Enterprise Centre is a vital office space and support hub for startups, creative and digital businesses, and social enterprises, created by York St John University in partnership with York & North Yorkshire Growth Hub.
Since opening in May 2022, the Enterprise Centre has welcomed numerous businesses and entrepreneurs who have really benefited from a professional, collaborative workspace, as well as direct access to a range of support available on-site. This includes coaching and mentoring workshops from York Business School, support with digital and marketing, growth planning, finance skills and bid writing, and a package of free expert help, uniquely connected to the business support landscape via the Growth Hub.
Casey Woodward, founder of AgriSound said:
“Working with Emma from the Growth Hub has been absolutely great for our business. She has been able to open up a whole range of funding options that we have gone on to secure and signpost us to the wider support services within the university, including access to students and graduates to complete specific projects. Additionally, she has introduced us to other businesses within the local York ecosystem that have become clients of ours. So all-in-all, it’s been a fantastic experience.”
