West London: Businesses affected by the events of September 11 could benefit from a new £1 million support programme.

As part of the London Tourism Action Group's (LTAG) £4 million tourism aid package, Business Link for London, an advice and support service for small businesses, has launched the programme in a bid to support the ailing tourism and hospitality sector.

Companies which qualify can benefit from up to eight and a half days of practical information, during which the programme will provide a review of a company's current situation and an action plan to help it keep afloat and to build for future growth.

"We are aiming to help businesses get through a difficult time during the next six months," said David Scott, business adviser for West London Business Link, Hayes.
