A new competition to win six months’ free office space at premier city centre address, 20 Chapel Street, is giving entrants the chance to get their business off to a flying start.

The #StartMeUp Pitch, organised by serviced office provider Orega, invites start-up businesses and entrepreneurs to submit their pitch to win the space, which will be completely free-of-charge for six months.

The office up for grabs accommodates up to four people and also includes free phone and broadband services as well as access to start-up support.

Two runners up will also receive a virtual office package from Orega for six months.

To enter, businesses must submit their pitch via the Orega website by 10 November 2017. Orega will review the entries and invite their five favourite businesses to pitch face-to-face.

The competition follows on from the success of Orega’s first #StartMeUp Pitch, which took place in Manchester earlier this year and saw entrants going head-to-head to win an office at Orega MediaCity.

Suzanne Machray, Head of Marketing at Orega, said: “Orega Liverpool is the perfect location to give any business the space it needs to help inspire growth and creativity. Striking contemporary architecture, state-of-the-art office space, a central location and iconic views of the Liver Building and the River Mersey – what more could you ask for?

“We’re excited to see who will enter #StartMeUp – Liverpool is renowned for being full of entrepreneurial talent, and we’re hoping to discover an amazing up-and-coming business that really deserves a helping hand.

“Being in a business environment that’s sure to impress can make a massive difference. You could be rubbing shoulders with current occupiers at 20 Chapel Street like Ernst & Young, Fujitsu, Barclays and Liverpool Football Club before you know it. So if you think you have what it takes, then we’d love to hear from you!”

The closing date for competition entries is 10 November 2017, with pitches taking place later in the month.
