Some of our clients have written in to say.......

I have found Bucks Enterprise to be helpful, responsive and inspiring in helping me develop ideas for a new business. I chose not to go ahead with my idea as yet, for various reasons, but knowing they are there to assist people seriously considering setting up a new business is reassuring and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I have been running my own business for 19 years, all of my working life. I recently approached my bank for some borrowings and produced a comprehensive business plan, forecasts, etc covering everything I thought he would need.  When he suggested I contact Bucks Enterprise to strengthen my case, I couldn't see what more I could do and was extremely sceptical how they could help.  However, in just one hour, your "adviser" understood my business, my needs and gave some very useful additional insights that I hadn't considered.  I can't report a successful conclusion yet but am seeing the bank again next week and am very confident - update to follow.  It just goes to show, no matter how experienced you are and think you know it all, we can always learn something new.

Since finding the courage to take the leap and set out on my own I have been constantly amazed at the level of free support and advice there is available to people like myself.  When I visited Bucks Enterprise I saw Tom Dark and he explained clearly and simply the things I needed to do to get my business to where I want it.  Thanks!

Just a quick note to say how interesting and useful I found the meeting - thank you!  I already feel more business-like and look forward to exploring the avenues suggested.

I was very inspired by the meeting with Peter and was honoured to have time and advice from such a distinguished and experienced professional. He understood immediately what my business was about and his advice really made sense.

Geraldine Rowe

"From the very first contact with Bucks Enterprise, I was supported and encouraged - both by Gennie Mockford and Tom Dark.

Tom Dark gave me the confidence and belief that I could do it! He talked me through the financial aspects, the importance of market research and the value of networking. He gave me a list to look at which made me evaluate whether or not things would be right for my business. I successfully negotiated the purchase of an existing business and have started trading.

Anyone who has an idea or wants to start a business should make Bucks Enterprise their first call - the start-up advice and support was just what was needed to someone like me who was so apprehensive!

"Training as a plumber was great! Being a female plumber raised a few eyebrows but didn't stop me working.

"The difficulties I experienced related to administration and finance - two common issues facing new businesses. I attended one of Bucks Enterprise's "Open Evenings" and that changed how I felt about my business. I immediately got loads of encouragement and support. Simply saying "we can help" gave me reassurance that I needn't struggle on my own.

"I met with Tom Dark and it was brilliant. He helped me set realistic goals that were so beneficial at the time. I meet regularly with Tom and discuss issues relating to my business - this has enabled me to work more efficiently; charge the correct prices and adopt a focussed approach to building my business. I feel much more confident knowing that the back-up is there.

"My advice to any new business start up - even if you are just thinking about it - is to go and get the help - it is there. I could have saved myself a lot of stress had I known about Bucks Enterprise earlier in the start up of my business!"

Martin Willitts

"I am very grateful for your insight and objective assessment which has benefited me enormously not least by co-ordinating the various strands of thoughts and prioritising what needs to be done straight away.

"Overall it was like having my own Executive Director from an investment bank in the City."

Craig Mortimer

"Polygon Creative had some burning questions and issues regarding the growth and success of the business. After listening to where our business was and where we wanted it to be both Peter Banner and Richard Whitfield from Bucks Enterprise quickly outlined a plan of action.

Both Peter and Richard's business knowledge and experience has been invaluable to us, we look forward to working with Buck Enterprise again shortly. If you are a start up or small business in Bucks we urge you to have a chat with these guys, you'll be surprised by the difference they can make to the success of your business."
