If you have a small business and are looking for premises, the council's property portfolio might have just what you're looking for.
From industrial and retail units in and around Preston - plus those in the heart of the city in the upcoming Animate leisure complex - to vacant stalls at Preston Markets, or managed workshop spaces at Riversway, the council owns and leases a number of units and spaces suitable for a range of businesses across Preston.
Currently, a couple of spaces are available within Preston Market Hall or would a Box Market unit better suit your needs? But if you're looking for self-contained storage space, there is currently an unit empty at Riversway Managed Workshops at Preston Docks.
Conveniently placed to reach the city centre and also to benefit from the anticipated Edith Rigby Way - the almost complete Preston Western Distributor Road connecting easily to the M55 motorway - the available unit is 742 square feet with reasonable rent and terms.
As the only vacant unit of 29 at the site, the available space benefits from water and electricity supply plus a roller-shutter door suitable for storage and deliveries. Lease terms would be subject to approved business use.
Councillor Carol Henshaw, Cabinet member for climate change, said:
"The council's property portfolio is varied and suitable for quite a wide range of business uses in a tough economic climate.
"Our current vacant units offer affordable rents including discounted rates for start-up businesses, as well as potential for larger businesses.
"Working with enterprises of all sizes benefits the city's economy which, in turn, benefits everyone across Preston.
"If you're in the market for business accommodation, the council offers viable options for you and your company."
