Blackpool Council has orchestrated a week full of free business learning, boot camps, drop in sessions and thought-provoking events.

Collectively known as Blackpool Enterprise Week, the events will take place between November 12 and 16 at various locations across the Fylde Coast.

The 2018 programme will appeal to those who are thinking about starting a business or have just started their business giving them the opportunity to attend free events with practical, implementable advice.

The Get Started Boot Camps will focus on marketing, financial planning, and accounting to help set solid, practical business foundations.

Established and growing businesses will be able to find out more about the funding opportunities available to Blackpool businesses.

Cllr Mark Smith, cabinet member for regeneration, enterprise and economic development, said: “It’s essential for us to support our local business community. That’s what Blackpool Enterprise Week is about, with 18 free to attend events full of insight, inspiration and practical advice for businesses at every stage of their development.

"Blackpool Enterprise Week provides the perfect platform to deliver expert help and has something for everyone; from those in their infancy, helping them turn their ideas into sound and sustainable plans, to supporting more established companies with their growth aspirations."

The “Show Me The Money” event on Tuesday, November 13, sponsored by British Business Bank, will share how to attract funding and financial support and provides an opportunity to meet the people with the money.

On Friday 16th experts from Google will be delivering a Digital Garage Workshop designed to provide practical advice and examples to assist small businesses to improve their online presence and visibility.

Following valuable insights from last year’s event, there will be a focus on Food & Drink, Retail and Construction with two specific workshops tailored for these sectors. Get Set for Business: Construction Trades and Get Set for Business: Retail and Food & Drink Businesses. Blackpool Enterprise Week is organised by Blackpool Unlimited and details of all the free to attend events can be found on by clicking here.
