We can provide 12 hours of business support. The only thing you need to provide is a commitment to working with us on your business.

We have experienced and approachable business advisers and a network of industry experts, who can help you to work out the best route to increased productivity and profitability. Where appropriate, we can put you in touch with other specialist advisors, consultants, Industry experts and funding sources.

Simply schedule a first meeting with a business advisor. At this first meeting, you can ask any questions that you have, and if you want to sign up, we’ll check your eligibility and then enrol you onto the programme. It’s as simple as that.

Once you’re enrolled, you’ll meet regularly with your business advisor to identify key opportunities and challenges and devise an action plan. The business advisor will try to give you different options and a fresh perspective but any decisions remain yours.

At the moment, all meetings are taking place online, but we hope to offer you the option of face-to-face soon.

Our mission is to provide a supportive environment where business people can get practical, independent and confidential support from a business advisor. The advisor’s role is to guide, support, challenge and advise.
