Chamber of commerce and industry. Phone them.

Forget the Jobcentre unless you've been unemployed for over 6 months

also have a free chat with your own banks small business advisor, they are very helpful. there are some great deals for first time startups with regard to banking/fees and advice.

HSBC were very good when i started my own small business.

I second the first point for business. It's a very good service.
