A CAMPAIGN has been launched aimed at encouraging people to start up their own businesses.

Run by Bexley Council's Economic Development Unit, there will be mini-exhibitions and business advice events at the Job Centre Plus in Bexleyheath Broadway, on November 15 and November 16 and at the Central Library, Townley Road, on November 17.

Anyone interested can just drop in or pre-arrange a meeting by calling Bexley's business hotline on 0845 602 0033.

The campaign also includes posters outlining the support available for start-up businesses and three advisors from the Belvedere Business Centre will be at the Business Start-Up Show at the ExCel centre in Docklands on November 19 and 20.

Free tickets for the show are available via the hotline.
