HASLEMERE Business Centre is set to open on February 1, and the town’s chamber of trade is offering its members an opportunity to invest in 12-month debentures to raise £8,000 to complete renovation of the premises before the first tenants move in.

The centre above Grayswood Computers in Causewayside, off the High Street, is an initiative by the business association to provide a professional environment with furnished office accommodation and services for new and growing small businesses.

Chamber president Craig McGowan said:: “We are now in a position to offer members the opportunity to help us realise this ambition by investing in the project.

“We are offering 12 month debentures commencing February 1 worth £500 each with a five per cent return.

“At the end of the 12 months, investors will receive their original capital sum plus interest.

“We are able to offer this opportunity to invest in one or more debentures, secure in the knowledge that we have tenants ready to move in – and provide the income stream that will enable us to meet our obligations at the end of the 12 months.”
