Are you a pre-start up business, looking for support to get your new product or service off the ground? Maybe you have already started-up, but you need some help with the growth and the direction of where to take your business? Or perhaps you are re-starting your business after a hiatus, and need some guidance and fresh ideas?
With our Business Support Package, you’ll have everything you need to get the groundwork nailed, your growth journey mapped out and customers on the books.
Getting clarity over every aspect of your business will give you a sure-fire roadmap to success. This support will allow you to avoid any pitfalls in your new business, consider important aspects for future businesses such as a green policy and funding, and save you time and money by giving you everything you need in one place.
The support is delivered as an array of easily digestible workshops by specialists, each covering a different area of your business to ensure that you don’t miss any of the important stuff! They are hosted online on Zoom and are free to attend.
Topics include:
- Idea Development, Business Planning and Finance
- Creating a Marketing Plan
- Access to Funding
- Introduction to Sustainability
- Creating a Sustainability Plan
- Digital Marketing

- May I extend a big thank you to Business West for their excellent workshops. I have attended three and I am planning on attending all on offer in their business support package. They are informative with very good content and structure and they are enabling me to formulate a number of plans within my business. A great free resource for any start up business.
