About us

If you have a great idea and need help turning it into a real business venture then Middlesbrough Enterprise Gateway can help you.

Working with entrepreneurs who live or who are setting up a business in Middlesbrough, the Gateway provides a wide range of advice, coaching, mentoring and workshops, which can help get you started.

We, along with our partner organisations, have worked with a whole host of individuals who live and work in the local area. Many of these people were just like you – they had a great idea and just needed a little help to get started. Now they’re doing really well and prove that with some perseverance comes success and reward.

If you don’t yet have an idea but you know you’d like to work for yourself then we could also help with ideas generation.

Take a look at our success stories to see how other local people have got their businesses off the ground.

Combine your bright ideas with the tools, advice and support that we can give you, and you really can make a fresh start and work for yourself.

Who do we help?

We help people who are employed or unemployed, aged 16 plus, and who live or are setting up a business in certain areas of Middlesbrough.
