Affordable Startup Support in Caerphilly
ICE Start gives new businesses six months of coworking, community and practical support for just £25 a month.
Affordable startup support to help you get going
Starting a business can be exciting, but it can also feel isolating. You may be trying to work from home, looking for people who understand what you are building or simply unsure where to go for practical help.
ICE Start is Welsh ICE’s subsidised business startup support package for people who are preparing to launch or are within their first two years of trading.
For just £25 a month, you will receive six months of unlimited coworking at Welsh ICE in Caerphilly, together with a registered business address, workshops, networking and one-to-one expert support.
That is our usual £100-a-month coworking membership at a significantly reduced rate, saving you £450 over six months.
Start building your business with space, support and a community behind you.

Move your business out of the back bedroom
Working from home can be convenient, but it can also be distracting and isolating. Having a professional place to work can help you create a routine, separate work from home and feel more confident about your business.
Welsh ICE gives you somewhere productive to work Monday to Friday, as well as people to ask for advice, share ideas with and occasionally have a cup of tea with when business feels overwhelming.
Business startup support without the jargon
You do not need a polished business plan or all the answers before joining ICE Start.
You might be:
- Exploring whether an idea could become a business
- Turning a skill or hobby into an income
- Preparing to become self-employed
- Running a young business from home
- Looking for customers, connections or practical advice
- Ready to take your business more seriously
ICE Start is designed to give you the environment and encouragement to take your next steps.
