Specialist Services

Wenta is the local Enterprise Agency for Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. Our purpose is to provide support to people considering setting up or who run their own small businesses. Over the last 20 years Wenta has provided business advice to over 10,000 people and helped well over 3000 clients to start and develop their own businesses. Many more have benefited from the broad range of business support we now offer.

Wenta is a 'not for profit' Company Limited by Guarantee. The majority of our funding is generated from the ownership and management of our two business centre premises in Watford and Potters Bar. Between the two sites there are 120 offices and workshops, all of which are let on monthly licence terms, ideally suited to the needs of small businesses.

In addition to our advisory and property services we also run a successful education programme that promotes enterprise within the local schools, colleges and university.

We hope that after reading about the support we provide to the small business community, you too will get in contact and reap the benefits.
