New Wick Enterprise Centre Offers Low Cost Work Stations For Business

18th March 2008

Highland Opportunity Limited has opened a new enterprise centre in the Pulteneytown area of Wick.

Located at 9 Miller Street, the Wick Enterprise Centre provides a base for Highland Opportunity Ltd's business advisory service to Caithness and Sutherland and offers flexible workspace for small businesses who are seeking an office presence in the town, together with a small meeting room.

An occupation licence covers all costs of a workstation: rent, rates, light and heat, cleaning and wireless broadband access.

Licences are flexible in duration from a week to a month to a year, with easy termination. They cost £60 a week or £250 a month plus VAT.

Jennifer Irvine is the local advisor for Highland Opportunity and is based at the Wick Enterprise Centre and was formerly based in High Street, Wick. Jennifer can advise on low cost loans and funding available from other sources for businesses starting up or looking to expand.

The Opportunity Fund
Highland Opportunity Limited offers loans at interest rates lower than commercial bank rates, currently set at 5% on outstanding amounts, to new and growing businesses in the Highland Council area of Scotland. The priority is for loans from £1,000 to £50,000 which can be unsecured where there is a strong business plan. Loans over £50,000 and up to £250,000 will only be considered where there is a sound security over a business asset and there is a compelling case for economic development in the Highlands.
