Business support

Alongside the financial support we offer, we also provide specialist business support to help organisations to run their businesses more effectively.

From the earliest stage, you will be allocated a dedicated officer who will provide advice and support you through the project development, assessment and investment management stages. If you need specialist advice, in-depth or technical support, our dedicated Business Support Team will provide it. The Team brings together in-house advisers and external specialist consultants who offer advice, guidance, mentoring and support to help you develop robust, sustainable plans and work through problems.

The types of issues we can help you with include:

• Cash flow development and analysis
• Business planning
• Market research and marketing
• Property acquisition, planning and development
• Legal structures and contracting
• Human resources and recruitment
• Mentoring and support.

But this list is not exhaustive. We can also source support to meet more specialist needs including VAT advice, TUPE arrangements and contract negotiation.

Whether it’s a one-off problem or an on-going support need, we can help organisations develop their plans for assessment, manage their investment, and grow their business successfully.
