Small companies are being given a helping hand to encourage them to take part in Norfolk's biggest business- to-business exhibition.

The annual OnView! business fair is a massive opportunity for businesses to network, develop trading relations and publicise their goods and services.

JobCentre Plus has sponsored a dedicated start-up zone, enabling the organisers to offer stands at a low price. Any Norfolk business less than two years old can exhi-bit for just £120 + vat.

Abbey National is also supporting the start-up zone, with an offer of free consultations for exhibitors and anyone visiting their stand. Abbey National is offering a complimentary copy of the bank's handbook on starting a business for anyone who books a one-to- one consultation.

Norfolk's two key enterprise agencies working with start-ups are encouraging the companies they have helped to take advantage of the opportunity.

Norfolk Enterprise Agency Trust (Neat) and Norfolk and Waveney Enterprise Services (NWES) are both publicising the offer and supporting this year's OnView!03.

OnView!03 takes place at the Norfolk Showground Exhibition Hall on Sept-ember 25 and 26. For further details call 01953 605000.
