InBiz

InBiz, part of Avanta Enterprise Ltd, is dedicated to the promotion and development of self employment as a way into sustainable employment through the delivery of self employment programmes for the unemployed. Since its inception in 1990, InBiz has successfully assisted in the launch of over 25,000 businesses in the UK, supporting enterprise creation and neighborhood regeneration mainly with start-ups, micro-businesses and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

Self employment programmes delivered by InBiz provide individuals with step by step support in all aspects of launching and running a business ensuring that customers receive the necessary skills and support to successfully get their business idea off the ground. InBiz specialises in promoting entrepreneurship to individuals who have the skill base and business idea, but lack the confidence or practical business knowledge to take the leap into self employment. InBiz Business Advisers engage with and support individuals to launch their business and will remain in contact with them as their business grows. 75 per cent of InBiz supported businesses are still trading after two years proving that self employment is a viable way out of unemployment.
