These are a free, no-obligation opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs to speak to a business advisor about their business idea and receive professional advice about how to develop these ideas into a profitable business model. Representatives from local banks will be on hand to answer any financial queries.

Emma Garrett, CEO of Mallusk Enterprise Park said: “This series of informal drop-in business clinics will provide us with the opportunity to go out and meet new clients and demonstrate how the Go For It Programme can really help their business idea take off.

“Over the past 25 years, Mallusk Enterprise Park has helped hundreds of budding entrepreneurs in the Antrim and Newtownabbey area to turn their dreams into reality.”

Anyone who attends a Go For It Programme drop-in business clinic and signs up to the MEP mailing list will be entered into a prize draw to win an iPad.
