IT Support

Manchester Business Consortium has a specialist ICT team working with Manchester Digital Development Agency and Manchester City Council.

We can help you

  • Set up an online business
  • Work remotely
  • Improve office systems
  • Set up a computerised accounting system

We are running an e-business development programme February - March 2007 for businesses in North, East, Central & South Manchester.

We are currently funded to provide individual on-site support in East Manchester and a similar scheme is expected shortly in the Central Manchester Zone from Hulme to Ardwick.

We are always willing to provide some telephone support and work closely with all Manchester City Council Economic Development Teams in Regeneration Areas. We support and sponsor the Local Business Networks in these areas and link closely with Manchester's Digital Trade Association.

We have a professional team who sponsor local initiatives and can provide cost-effective solutions when publicly funded support is not available.

You may want personalised letters for mass mailings to existing or potential clients. You can fax your invoices without using paper and you can automate your accounts. You can set-up a home-office electronically integrated to a central base.

We can show you how without trying to sell you anything!

We have supported dozens of individuals into successful eBay traders. This is often done from home so you do not need additional premises or need to travel!

Manchester Business Consortium offers businesses support whether you are thinking of buying for the first time, or already own a computer and want to upgrade. If we can't help directly we will link you with other specialist units within Local Government and Higher Education.

Our e-business advisers are drawn from the TMB Regional Accreditation Centre and the Trade Association Manchester Digital. Independent advice is available to any business or individual. Training Needs can be identified and supported.

We support home-office users, micro-businesses and SMEs. We can help with your first PC, upgrades and network systems, on-line trading and integrating remote workers into a corporate system.
