New partner network set up to help business owners

Brand protection specialists, Start.Biz (National Business Register), have set up a new trusted network of partners to provide business owners with expert advice and essential business services to aid the day-to-day running of their operations and take their companies to the next level.

The Start.Biz network partners are We Are Canoe, Credit Passport, Penny Freedom and fellow Chamber of Commerce members Thursfields Solicitors, Sentio Insurance Brokers and BCRS Business Loans.

They cover a range of areas including brand protection, strategy, company credit scores, invoice financing, legal advice & representation, business insurance and finance.

Their new website launched this month featuring an Information Hub, entrepreneurial guides and professional service pages so business owners can access everything they need in one place.

Bevan Edwards, director and founder of Start.Biz said: "There are many overwhelming business advice websites and crowded directories out there and we wanted to build something different.

"We have a personal connection with every single one of our partner brands; we have met them, reviewed their offering in depth and in a lot of cases used them ourselves. To ensure you can trust our recommendations we are also continually in communication with our partners and their customers keeping up to date with ever changing industry needs & products."

Colin Gunnell, CEO of Penny Freedom Start.Biz 's invoice finance partner, said: “We 're thrilled to be partnering with Start.biz in their mission to support aspiring and established business owners. At Penny we really share the conviction that businesses need the right support to be able to succeed, no matter where they are on their journey.

"Poor cash flow is one of the biggest barriers to growth and we created Penny to give businesses the freedom from waiting 30, 60 or even 90 days to get their invoices paid. With Penny they can instantly advance money to their business and accelerate their cash flow. We can 't wait to be part of the Start.Biz support network and work together to help businesses thrive. ”

To celebrate the launch and new network, representatives from each partner attended a collaborative event hosted in Birmingham city centre at Lasan restaurant.
