We can help!
Our expert Business Advisors offer 1-2-1 advice on setting up or growing a business.
Receive support on a wide range of key business topics – from development of your business goals and marketing to operations, finance, or your journey to net zero. Our meetings give you the opportunity to talk through your business ideas and get tailored feedback, helping you take back control of your business journey.
Book a meeting with us at a time and date that suits you. All we need to get started are your contact details and a brief overview of your business (with potential discussion points) so we can match you with the right Advisor.
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 be a daunting experience. Our business advice meetings provide you with the chance to talk to an experienced Business Advisor about any issues or questions you are facing on your business journey and aim to 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.
