We are constantly told that there is help available but how do you find it?
We understand you don’t have time when you are running a business to search through the 150 plus providers and schemes so we now have a resident local Business Support Navigator to do this for you and it is a free service for all businesses in our area.

Here are a few examples to give you a taste of what is available.

Did you know …..
•    There are grants of between £5,000 & £250,000 for businesses that wish to grow and increase employment?
•    There will be a new Business Start-up Hot House program starting in the autumn which provides 2 day boot camps 10 business workshops, 10 business coaching sessions   and 10 peer to peer mentoring sessions.
•    You could have a talented Intern in a focused role within the creative, digital, media and technology and green sector.  This 6 week Grant Assisted programme helps reduce the risks associated with taking on new talent.
These are just a few examples from the 150+ initiatives available and it is great to have someone to use as your single point of reference to access these Business Support & Growth Initiatives.

The aim is to help business growth by having a direct contact based locally providing
•    One-to-one support from Business Support Navigators
