As a Liverpool lad born and bred, it pleased me to read the report from thebusinessdesk.com on Liverpool City Region talking about the opportunities for regeneration in Merseyside being unrivalled in the North West.

While it is great to read so much optimism for our region, job creation, inward investment and employment opportunities, instead of all the doom and gloom we have gotten used to reading in the media, there is one thing that concerns me greatly. Where is the support going to come from for all this private sector growth?
Yes, public sector schemes like the approval of Mersey Waters as an Enterprise Zone is certainly going to help attract new businesses to the region, but how are these new businesses going to access practical day-to-day support that is required to thrive?

It is my experience that start-up businesses and SMEs experiencing rapid growth need assistance tailored specifically to their needs at the time. And with regional Business Links disappearing, to be replaced by a website and phone line it certainly isn’t going to be from the public sector.
Therefore, I am keen to know where any local businesses are currently turning for support, please post your comments below or tweet me @leehackett1
