Grow your existing business

Are you running your own business and want to accelerate growth? Are you looking for skills development support, or help with marketing, health or finance issues? Are you self-employed, engaged in multiple temporary roles and looking for a more reliable income?

We'll begin with an initial business diagnostic to discover what's working well for you and your business and identify where your business could benefit from support. Following this, we'll tailor your EnterprisingYou program to your specific requirements, and you'll be paired with a dedicated Business Advisor – Enterprise Specialist, who will work with you throughout your journey.

The program is designed to help you nurture or growth your business, and you'll have regular meetings with your Business Advisor along the way.

Features:

1-2-1 Business Advisor
Fast forward your progress by speaking in confidence and with openness to our experienced team of Business Advisors. Together, we can review and identify what options are available to you whatever challenges you face from business planning, finance and cashflow or social media.

What our clients say

It’s been a privilege to be able to learn and be guided by my Business Advisor. EnterprisingYou has made a huge difference to the speed of growth and ultimately the success of my business.
Nicola Hill, Self-employed Maths Tutor

I have to say, I originally signed up for the EnterprisingYou programme with a heavy pinch of doubt. I am now extremely pleased that I ignored that doubt as the training and support have already paid dividends.
Steve Sweeney, Salford Double Glazing

My Business Advisor supported me through every aspect of the early days of my business. I felt I always had someone to turn to. My business would not be where it is today without her. Thank you very much for all the support.
Alison Gilbert, Self-employed Proofreader
