Growth Support Programme

01/05/17 - 31/03/21

The Growth Support Programme has been made available to support existing businesses wishing to grow, expand or who just wish to have an outside view of their current business. The support provides an initial face-to-face meeting with an experienced business advisor to get to know you and your business. During this meeting the advisor will work with you to create a development plan and to identify any areas where additional support could be of help. 

If after the initial diagnostic it is determined that further support is needed you will be offered the opportunity to commit to a further 9 hour support package including an assessment of digital opportunities and financial understanding, with a possibility of looking at innovation and marketing within your business, depending on your needs.

If it is identified that you would benefit from a referral or signposting to other assistance, this will also be provided.

This support is available throughout Devon and Somerset.
