North West entrepreneurs could pocket £60k in business services

A new business ideas competition has been laucnhed - with £60,000 of business services up for graps for the winning entrants.

Entrepreneurs in the North West have the chance to turn their new business idea into reality. Two lucky winners will each get £30,000 worth of start-up services through Ideas Factory – a business ideas competition run by BEX (Business Enterprise Xchange). The competition is part of Business North West, the region’s premier B2B exhibition and conference provider, and will give away services totalling £60,000 during the show on 21-22 November 2007.

Ideas Factory appeals to everyone who’s ever had a new business idea, but lacked the funding and know-how to turn it into reality. The two winners of the competition will receive essential services such as a year’s free office space in Manchester, a year’s free book-keeping, a strategic review from chartered accounts Baker Tilly, a year’s free IoD membership and other benefits.
