The Growth Support Programme is an EU funded support package which offers an initial 3 hour diagnostic to businesses wishing to grow or expand. The 3 hour diagnostic involves a face to face meeting with one of their experienced delivery partner business advisors, during which a development plan will be formulated for your business and any areas where additional support could be of benefit are identified.
As part of this initial meeting, businesses may also be signposted to external agencies, such as local and specialist business support organisations, training providers and trading standards.
If a need for further support is identified as part of the initial meeting, businesses will be offered the opportunity to commit to a further 9 hour support package of three business support modules, which are each 3 hours long. These include a core Digital module, which aims to increase growth and business efficiency through digital means. The business can then choose two modules from three further support options available which include Finance, Human Resources, Innovation and Marketing.
Referral or signposting to other agencies identified during the 9 hour support package will also be provided at the end of the package.
