Find The Right Premises

Gosport Premises Options

Home Based

If you are running your new business from home then there are some regulations to be potentially aware of, plus tax relief that you can potentially claim.  See Home Based Business for more information.

Test Trading

If you need or want to test trade your product or service to local consumers then a market stall pitch at the Gosport High Street Market (Tuesdays and Saturdays) can provide a cost effective solution. For more information including the start-up package for  Saturdays and contact details to apply for a pitch please see Gosport Market.

This also gives you the opportunity to get your business established prior to committing to a formal lease on commercial premises in Gosport High Street, the Precinct, Stoke Road, Lee-on-the Solent etc.
