East Sussex Business Guide & Directory
Running an SME is always tough
but in the current climate espe-
cially so. Sometimes you need to
talk to an independent business
person who can chew over ideas
or problems with you. You can
consult the bank, your accountant
or solicitor but an impartial
view can usually make a difficult
decision easier. This is where
eDEAL can help.
eDEAL has been providing
valuable business support in
East Sussex since 1987. The
initial purpose of the enterprise
agency was to provide advice
and support to residents of
Eastbourne and Wealden who
were unable to find work locally
or had been made redundant.
This remit has grown and now
eDEAL manages ACES, the
Alliance of Chambers in East
Sussex and offers business
support across the County.
eDEAL is a not-for-profit
enterprise agency offering practical
business guidance to SMEs.
Many of their services are
funded by local councils and
are free of charge. They have
expertise in helping local
businesses - whatever their
stage of development and a
good network of business advisors
from many different sectors.
A recent contract has resulted in
the successful start-up of 23 new
businesses since April 2013, they
are also working with 12 more
local people to start their new
businesses soon. These ventures
create valuable new jobs and
eDEAL are always on hand to
support them; while deriving
great satisfaction from helping
them grow.
eDEAL also owns and manages
an easy in/easy out office
suite near the A27 in Polegate
providing a professional
business environment for
start-up and growing businesses.
We realise how important it is
to work in a professionally
equipped environment without
the burden of committing to a
long term lease in the early years
of developing your business.
The eDEAL Business Centre has
been designed to meet today's
needs and is equipped with high
speed broadband, good road
links and plenty of parking.
eDEAL works in close association
with Eastbourne UnLtd Chamber
of Commerce and ACES so all
Chamber Members can network
with the wider business community
and influence policy makers via
structured, strategic approaches
to all local authorities and
central government.

a business or already run a
