A. Leicestershire Networks business on-line forums where you can ask questions, collaborate with other, develop your own network and post your companies details around the whole county.
Everyone registered will be automatically registered on this website but this is still not happening for a while so bare with us.
A. There is a User Guide set up on how to edit you business web page
A. You can register your business via the "Registration Form " page.
A. This is decided by picking a business by random & allowing your business to be on every page of the website including the front page as well as having a link to your web page.
A. Charnwood Borough Council are dedicated to offering the best business support to local companies. These companies provide local employment and therefore benefit local communities.
The business website offers company direct advice for new and existing businesses and is directly supported by the Economic Development team at the council offices.
The site provides signposting and information on all aspects of business, gives details of networking groups, business events and training opportunities. Entry in the business directory is free to any company in Charnwood and companies can edit their own content (pictures, text, web links). It therefore provides a particular advantage for small companies who do not have the resources to develop their own web site yet. There is also a comprehensive “find my nearest” index of companies in Charnwood with more basic details (like Yellow Pages).
A. The entry really is free. Many Councils have paper business directories published but these are very costly and are out-of-date as soon as they are published. It is actually cheaper to provide free web space for local companies than to produce paper directories. This means that we do not have to replace the paper directory every few years - it is constantly being updated. If companies offer new products or services, they can update their entry immediately. Furthermore the web directory is searchable.
A.Charnwood Business holds a lot of information so now you can save pages of the site that you personally find useful as links under "my shortcuts". You can give each your own name.
If you wish you can also put in links to external web sites so you can use this like "Favorites".
A. The only conditions attached to your business entry are:-
(1) That you provide a named contact and telephone number should we need to contact you. This name will not appear on the web site
(2) That you do not make any derogatory remarks about other companies or claims that cannot be substantiated. We reserve the right to remove any content that may offend these conditions
(3) Your company must have premises / employ people in Charnwood (although it may have a head office elsewhere)
The Borough Council cannot take responsibility for the accuracy of any statements made in company directory entries. Neither does an entry in the Directory mean that it in any way endorses the products or services of that company.
Nook Corner is an excellent example of how to use this web site, especially if you don't have a dedicated site. Nook Corner is a combined Gift, Gallery and Coffee Shop located in the centre of Anstey in one of the oldest buildings in the village. But it is much more than just a coffee shop; it also a very well stocked gift shop, offering a large and constantly changing range of gifts to suit most occasions.
