One-to-one support

Our expert Business Advisors can meet with you on a 1-2-1 basis, offering advice on setting up or growing a business. We can help with a wide range of topics from development of business goals and marketing, to operations or finance, or your journey to net zero. Our meetings allow you to talk through your ideas, supporting you to become proactive and take back control of your business journey. 

Book an appointment at a time and date that suits you – all we need is your contact details and a brief overview of the business with potential discussion points, so we can match you with the right Advisor to together develop a forward-thinking approach. 

 

One-to-one support for existing businesses

Running your own business can be a lonely place, especially if you are a sole trader or the sole director. Our business advice meetings provide you with the chance to talk to an experienced Business Advisor about issues or questions you are facing within your business – all in an impartial, confidential space. 

Our Advisors can help you to focus on what is important in your business, assist you with setting objectives and help you to move your business in the direction you want it to go. We will work with you to identify the critical steps needed to achieve sustained business growth. 

 

One-to-one support for start-up businesses

Starting a new business can sometimes be a daunting experience, with the wealth of technical information available and the fear that you have not remembered everything when you are setting up. Our business advice meetings provide you with the chance to talk to an experienced Business Advisor about any issues or questions you are facing with your journey and improve your business confidence moving forward.   

Our Advisors can help you to focus on what is important while setting up your business, understanding different legal statuses, setting objectives, writing business plans and creating a cashflow forecast for the business. We will work with you to identify the critical steps needed to start a business and help you apply for and implement finance, funding and infrastructure. 

 

Cost

A 1-2-1 business advice meeting with a Business Advisor is £75 per session (incl. VAT). Sessions are typically one hour long. 

There is also the option to attend 1-2-1 sessions on a regular basis to help you achieve your targets. This can be discussed when you book or in your first meeting.
