Case Studies:

“When I first had the idea of starting my own business, I decided to call into Cookstown Enterprise Centre and get some advice on how to take my business idea further. I discussed and explored my idea with my business advisor. This was a great starting point, I found the business advisor friendly, supportive and didn’t put me under any pressure to know all the answers, which was great”.

“I can’t thank Andrea enough for all her hard work, she covered everything from finance aspects to the layout and writing up my business plan. Every detail was covered and I now have my business up and running with full and part time staff employed”.

Pauline Williamson, Owner, Coffee Dock

I am delighted with the progress which my business has made in a relatively short period of time. It would have been impossible for me to establish the business without the expert advice, information and assistance provided to me. I am grateful to all of the business development staff at the Enterprise Centre who have expertly guided me to bring my business idea to the reality of a successful business venture’.
