WIN YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND PUBLICITY PACKAGE WORTH £120,000!
2010 will be a special year for one aspiring entrepreneur thanks to Coventry City Council, CVOne, Mercia and the Coventry Telegraph who, in a unique move, have teamed up to offer a city centre shop along with a publicity package free of charge for one year!
"The Business' is a ground breaking and innovative opportunity that will make your business idea come true. We are looking for entrepreneurs who have the talent, creativity, enthusiasm and drive to build their own business, be their own boss and make their dream a reality.
Unit 14 in City Arcade is up for grabs rent free for one year and we are looking for a new business which will compliment and add vibrancy to this retail area in Coventry city centre. We are not just looking for a short term project; we want to introduce a viable long term business which will grow with our city.
Our vision is to welcome retail based businesses which will not directly conflict with the existing traders in this area. No proposals will be considered from individuals or businesses that represent an additional branch or relocation of an existing retail business currently trading from a shop unit. This will not preclude an application from market traders.
Cllr Ken Taylor said:
"This is a fantastic opportunity for someone and I am looking forward to seeing the range of ideas that people have for the shop. City Arcade is a unique shopping area and it already offers a wide range of things that can't be found anywhere else in the city centre. So we are looking for something that adds to the retail mix, encourages more people to shop in city Arcade and provides the best chance of creating a thriving new business that will grow with our city."
Liz Millett, Chief Executive, CV One added:
"We are absolutely delighted to be joining forces with Coventry City Council, the Coventry Telegraph and Mercia to give one lucky entrepreneur the chance to win a shop and publicity package. This is a first for the city and a fantastic opportunity for all those who have ever wanted to be their own boss and see their business dream come true. We are really looking forward to receiving unique and inspiring entries and we are certain our worthy winner will complement and add value to the City Arcade shopping area."
