Are you self-employed, freelancing, or running a small business with up to 5 employees? Ready to expand into new markets, boost your income, or grow your team?

Our support can help you gain clarity, build the right skills, and tackle challenges in areas like marketing, finance, mindset, and business planning.

We’ll begin with an initial business diagnostic to understand what’s working well and identify where your business could benefit from support. From there, we’ll tailor your EnterprisingYou programme to your specific goals and challenges.

You’ll be matched with a dedicated Business Advisor – Enterprise Specialist who will support you throughout your journey. Our advisors are based across every local authority area, so you’ll work with someone who understands your local business landscape and is accessible to you.

The programme is designed to help you nurture or accelerate your business growth, with regular one-to-one meetings to keep you on track and moving forward with confidence.

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.
