West Devon Business Support

Fully funded one-to-one business support and workshops

Based in Okehampton, we have provided high-quality support to businesses and start-ups throughout Devon and the South West for over 30 years. Our team of experienced advisors come with a wealth of local knowledge and business expertise, which means they understand the region’s economic climate and the challenges faced by Devon businesses.

We work closely with various funding partners, including West Devon Borough Council, on a range of programmes designed to help both new and existing businesses in the local area. Our projects are typically fully funded (subject to eligibility criteria), which allows our clients to tap into this sought-after support free of charge. You can view all of our current programmes here.

We provide support in the form of one-to-one consultations, practical business skills workshops, and online learning. We also partner with other agencies and social enterprises to further assist our clients in areas such as digital, sustainability, marketing, and more.

West Devon Business Support - Success Stories

“Our overall experience with BIP has been amazing. We have been given all the help and advice we could possibly need, and their advisors always have time to sit down and listen to ideas you have and give their advice on them. From simple things such as registering a new business to advanced online marketing, BIP has helped us 100% all the way! 

 If you are a small business and everything is starting to get on top of you, or you need any advice, do not hesitate to contact BIP, they can help you in more ways than you can imagine. They always provide a professional service and give the best possible advice. Don’t be scared to ask for help!” 

Ben Bailey, Flyonix 

"Helpful, knowledgeable, conscientious, prompt, professional, a really good service to have in the area. I’d be a bit stuck without them. Go straight to BIP.

I have passed this advice on to many people over the years and indeed got a message this morning from someone who has taken that advice saying, “Thank you – they are amazing!” 

Jo Henderson, The Cabin Company
