Supporting and nurturing start-ups across the Yorkshire Coast since 1985

A little about us...

We believe Yorkshire in Business leads the way as a modern, entrepreneur-led enterprise agency embedded in the community. We build income streams from the public and private sectors which fit with our enterprising community aims and values for the Yorkshire Coast region.

Our vision is to train, educate, raise skills and boost aspirations throughout the communities in which we operate.

As a not-for-profit, government-recognised enterprise agency, most of our high-quality enterprise support, training and education services are free to those learning about enterprise, thinking about or starting a business. Our mission is to ensure all enterprising people are able to make ends meet and contribute to the entrepreneurial culture in our local and regional community. We are founder members, since 1985, of the National Enterprise Network (formerly National Federation of Enterprise Agencies) and co-founders of the Micro Business Alliance.
