Starting a Business

We have a number of services to help people start-up in business. Depending on your circumstances and needs, we offer a high growth start-up programme (below) and we also deliver the new 'Ready for Business' programme in the South West. 

Whether you’re starting up or less than a year old, if you have the right attitude or innovation – a new product, service or concept – we’d like to help your business achieve its full growth potential.

What will you receive?

To help you overcome the challenges of the first few years of business, you’ll receive guidance from a specialist coach. From producing a solid business plan and identifying key areas for growth, to gaining the right level of finance and fully exploiting your innovation, you’ll benefit from specialist advice, dedicated workshops and practical support – with clearly tabled timelines and responsibilities.

Typically, support will include:

• Intensive one-to-one coaching
• Support with IP and investment readiness
• Building teams around ideas
• Support with grants and introductions to angel networks
• Market intelligence gathering
• Help with establishing supplier relationships
