With the start of a new decade, optimism is at a high and with this comes the huge potential to focus on business growth.

With over 18 years of expertise supporting SMEs across the North East, we understand that big plans start with small steps and we can support those first steps into growth through our business support programmes whether plans include investing in digital to enhance distribution, procurement or even feasibility studies around updated manufacturing processes leading to improved management performance. 

Our Tees Valley Leadership & Management Fund and North East Business Support Fund can do just that - improve management performance creating a stronger, and resilient business for the next decade.

The North East has some amazing businesses and is often seen at the forefront of new, smarter digital technology to improve operational effectiveness then looking at new overseas trade to ensure return on investment. Did you know that both our funds can support you with advice with up to 40% funding via grant assistance helping you to create a stronger business for 2020 and beyond.
