Supporting you at every stage
Idea. Start. Scale.
Whatever stage you’re at on your enterprise journey, we’ve got a programme, resource or support option for you. We’ve split everything we do and offer into three stages – idea, start and scale – to help you find the right help, at the right time.
You’ve got initial concepts or business ideas, but don’t know where to begin.
At the “Idea” stage, we’re here to guide you through the first steps of your entrepreneurial journey in business or freelancing.
Recently launched or ready to get going? In the “Start” stage, our support moves onto the logistics.
Think registering and testing your business, business plans and lean startup strategies, establishing a compelling online presence, and finding customers and clients.
Established a businesses and looking to expand and grow?
Our “Scale” stage includes support on increasing operational processes to meet growth, team expansion, diversifying your offering to capture new markets, and maximizing growth within your business.
