About the South East Hampshire Gateway

The South East Hampshire Gateway covers an area of 75 sq miles from Fareham in the West to Emsworth in the East, taking in Portsmouth, Gosport, Cosham and Havant. It covers a variety of locations from almost semi-rural in the north of the area to inner city Portsmouth, with its maritime heritage and diverse multi-cultural community.

Funded by the South East of England Enterprise Agency, The South East Hampshire Enterprise Gateway has been set up to help people who want to start a business across the area. The Enterprise Gateway and its Director will work with you from your initial idea through to the start of your business. Our primary aim is to help people succeed in business, whatever your background or circumstances.

Through the Enterprise Gateway, we can help you access all the business support services available and we work with you to find exactly the right services for you and your business. We'll introduce you to people facing similar challenges to yourself, we'll give you access to training that can really sharpen your business skills, and our events will help you to meet people who can help your business develop.
