incubation facility, the ID Centre is doing its bit to support
small businesses with the re-launch of its associate membership
package.
The ID Centre, which is based at the rtc business park on London

establish themselves in the slowly recovering economic current
climate.
Associate Membership costs just £10 a month and gives
businesses and individuals access to a professional address and the
full range of business support services offered by the ID Centre -

"Our new associate membership package is a fantastic way for
businesses that are in their formative stages to get business
support and advice, as well as present themselves professionally to
customers and suppliers with an established business
address.
"And with recent statistics suggesting that the economy is
slowly improving, it is the time perfect time to offer new and
developing businesses as much help as we possibly can at a minimal
cost."
