Our Business Support Programmes
We regularly work on a variety of difference business support programmes. As much as possible we try to ensure a wide range of free or subsidised support for small businesses and startups across Devon. Typically the types of assistance can include one-to-one support with a local business advisor, free business skills workshops, funding advice and business planning.
If you run a small business or are looking to become self-employed, take a look at the support we can offer below.
If you are looking to support small businesses locally, please contact us to discuss any potential opportunities. We have worked with a large number of funders both locally and nationally to deliver effective support packages to local businesses for over 25 years.
