A NEW support programme for anyone thinking of starting their own business is being launched across the district this month.

Business Link Kent's Look Before You Leap initiative offers budding local entrepreneurs and fledgling businesses an opportunity of taking part in a series of workshops.

The free informal group sessions will provide practical advice and tips plus a chance to network.

The next workshop will be held on Monday, November 24 at Shepway Business Centre Shearway Park in Folkestone
