For a fledgling business, the entry point to the office accommodation is via the pre-incubation hot-desk environment.  We have a large, open plan office area from which a start-up business can access desk space, computers, broadband internet access, telephones and printing facilities.  This space is ideal for businesses that want to gain an identity and a base but don't require any specialist facilities.  Clients and suppliers can visit the premises for informal and formal meetings in the office environment, conference rooms or adjacent Bistro facilities.

Network Plus was established in March 2007 as a regular monthly networking opportunity designed specifically for new and small businesses.   Its aim is three-fold - to provide a structured networking opportunity, to enable information giving through the inclusion of a specialist speaker at each event and to develop the networking skills of individual participants. Network Plus recognises that the majority of its participants have only a concept to sell but still need to build a network and learn from those people. 

CUE has a partnership with the Institute of Directors (IoD), an association made up of experienced Company Directors, to provide additional mentoring, advice and workshops to its client groups.  In its first year of operation, under the name Coventry Means Business, the IoD partnership enabled many entrepreneurs to gain valuable links into industry, in the form of business contacts and even a work experience placement for a budding student entrepreneur.
