MERSEYSIDE companies are being warned to be extra vigilant before doing business with opportunist start-ups in the run up to 2008.
Liverpool expects to see a flurry of new enterprises launched, encouraged by the city's 800th birthday celebrations this year, and European Capital of Culture Year in 2008.

Jenny Esau, of Esau Credit Control Services said: "Taking a cautious but positive approach will mean businesses can trade confidently with new businesses, safe in the knowledge they have taken sensible steps to protect themselves."
