The Herefordshire Business Support Programme, commissioned by Herefordshire Council and funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, gives Herefordshire-based businesses the exciting opportunity to access free support to enhance their performance and maximise their growth prospects.
The programme will start with a detailed diagnostic service to help businesses understand how they can improve their performance and growth prospects. The business owner will then have the opportunity for dedicated face-to-face sessions with a specialist Business Advisor to determine a bespoke action plan for improved business performance and growth. Clients can also attend workshops and masterclasses and online training on critical business topics to help improve productivity, as well as extending their business network with like-minded local businesses.
Eligibility
The project will run until 31st March 2025, where eligible businesses can gain this free support.
To be eligible a business may have a registered trading address in Herefordshire. They must also be an SME (i.e. employing <249 staff) and must have been trading for six months or more.
Apply
The application process is quick and simple. First of all, please provide us with some initial information about your business and our support team will be in touch with information about the diagnostic process.
Places on the programme will be allocated on a first come, first served basis – so apply now to avoid missing out!
