Bradford: officially the best city for entrepreneurs starting a business

07/02/2018

Here at Bentley Klyne we pride ourselves on the superb property that we offer in the very heart of the city of Bradford.

Now, there’s even more reason to invest in a property in Bradford. The city was very recently named by Barclays as the best city in the country in which to start a business.

Barclays’ SME Growth Factors Index analysed the top 20 cities in the country based on population size, using 12 key growth factors to determine which is the most attractive for entrepreneurs launching a small or medium sized enterprise.

Bradford was ranked first overall and came top for a number of growth factors including road infrastructure, job vacancies, commercial rent costs and business rate relief.

The excellent rating by Barclays confirms Bradford’s status as one of the most up and coming cities in the country, a location likely to experience strong growth as entrepreneurs relocate to the city and take advantage of the favourable business relief rates, fast broadband speed and labour productivity.

In fact, entrepreneurs are already showing their confidence in Bradford says Bradford Chamber of Commerce president Nick Garthwaite. Mr Garthwaite recently confirmed that the city is a thriving area for fledgling firms and pointed to the excellent services offered to start-ups by the Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to providing professional expertise to help new businesses take their first steps, Bradford Chamber of Commerce offers a loan of up to £25,000 to help get start-ups off to a flying start.

With such a promising outlook for business growth in Bradford, now is definitely the time to invest in a property in the city.

Property in Bradford is currently very competitively priced compared to elsewhere in the UK, but such low prices are unlikely to last for too much longer as new businesses move into the city and the area experiences the strong growth predicted by Barclays.

Bentley Klyne offer a range of stunning apartments in the city centre, investment opportunities that are not to be missed. Our latest properties include a range of spacious one bedroom apartments in the prestigious Augustus House development, located just half a mile from the main train station and on the doorstep of the incredible new £260m Broadway shopping complex.

The apartments offer a fantastic and affordable opportunity for investors looking to benefit from everything Bradford has to offer. Find out more about Augustus House and contact us today to arrange a viewing.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to invest Bradford - officially the best city in the country in which to start a business.
