Directories of companies offering homework
The most common enquiry we receive is from people asking for a list of companies in the Bury area supplying work that can be done from home.
The Council doesn't hold a list of companies providing home work. If you would like an informal discussion of how the Council's project can help you please contact us.
Note: Any organisation that asks you to pay for a list of companies offering homework should be avoided as there is every likelihood that this is a scam.
