GET BUSINESS SUPPORT

Looking to start a business? Wanting to grow your existing business? Facing challenges with growth, expansion or pivoting? You’re in the right place. For over 30 years we have been at the forefront of innovative, responsive support services, delivering to a range of businesses, utilising our network of over 150 business Mentors, Coaches and Consultants – one of the largest teams of business specialists in the Northwest.

Our specialist Mentors, Coaches and Consultants come from a wide variety of backgrounds; they have founded successful companies, acquired and sold businesses or currently run their own company – all with one common goal; a passion to give something back, sharing and exploiting their vast collective knowledge and expertise along the way.

Our specialists are your critical friend, there when you need them, non-judgemental and someone to bounce ideas off, helping you mitigate risks or accelerating your business success in a smarter way – someone who’s been there, done it and owns that t-shirt! We can help any sector and support any need; from finance, sales and marketing to lean manufacturing, supply chain and procurement.

The best part about working with one of our business specialists:

We are an ethically driven, not-for-profit organisation with CSR and ESG at the heart of everything we do. This means, whilst we work on supporting your business, we re-invest a percentage of our surplus into our local communities, making a direct impact improving our neighbourhoods. Making a huge difference to the everyday lives of families and businesses on a huge scale.

So, if you’re looking for ethical, professional, tangible business support – get in touch with us today, we have packages to suit every need.

“If you ask any successful business person, they will always have had a great mentor at some point along the road”
