DO you have big dreams to run your own company?

Perhaps it's time to make those dreams a reality with one of these Brighton businesses. 

It has been a tough year for highstreet shops up and down the country and it's no surprise that so many doors are being sadly shut for good. 

This month both Topshop and New Look confirmed their branches in the city would not reopen after lockdown. 

The permanent closure of major high street stores will leave a 'gaping hole' in Brighton, MP Caroline Lucas warned. 

The need for a breath of fresh air on our high street has arguably never been more important. 

There are many wonderful reasons for setting up shop in Brighton and with enough ambition and passion some new businesses could be just what the city needs.
