Sandfields Business Centre is a flagship of Neath Port Talbot Council's entrepreneurial initiatives, providing office and workshop accommodation to start-up and existing businesses. The main objective of the Centre is to make the first steps into the world of business as easy as possible.
Managed by the Economic Development Team, the Centre was officially opened in 1998 and quickly made an impact with a flurry of businesses taking advantage of the facilities. With such positive feedback, and a number of businesses on the waiting list, plans were submitted and approved for the second phase of the building.
In total the Centre offers 24 offices and 11 workshops in varying sizes, with rents starting from:
- Offices £76.50 incl. VAT per month
- Workshops £165.00 incl. VAT per month
In addition, a service charge (which includes gas, electricity, water and refuse collection) will be charged based on individual usage. Terms include ‘easy in, easy out’ i.e. one month notice by either party to vacate the premises. Each office and workshop is fitted with an intruder alarm and all have security shutters in place.
Services available at the Centre include:
- One to one business advice from on-site business professionals
- Funding opportunities
- Photocopying and faxing services
- Conference facilities
- Car parking
- 24/7 access to units
- Opportunities to network with other businesses at the Centre
