Starting your business

Starting a new business can become very expensive, very quickly. The Chamber recognises this and has negotiated with both national and regional suppliers to get lower rates on essential things you need to run a business.

Finances are the lifeblood of businesses, and through the Chamber you can access three free years of business banking for start ups, and one free year of business banking for businesses with less than £250k turnover, a saving of over £300 per annum. On top of this, members can take control of their business finances through digital invoicing, an easy-to-use system that ditches the terminology and puts you where you ought to be - back running the business. The Chamber also offers a credit management package and a debt recovery service, both of which will guarantee that you get paid what you deserve, on time.

All businesses need business insurance, and through Chamber patrons, Henderson, the Chamber can offer you preferential rates on your business insurance.

We also understand the importance in getting out and meeting new clients, and through a partnership with Regus all members get a free 6 month Regus Businessworld Goldcard - which gives you access to business lounges worldwide. So meet your next client in style.

Enterprise Yorkshire, a division of the Chamber also offer start up support. This includes help for those thinking about starting up and individuals who are ready to get going. Find out more here.
