Some businesses start by looking for extra funding, while others focus on developing new products or improving their existing services, training their staff or increasing sales to existing clients.
Attracting new customers tends to be one of the main points in any growth plan. So, whether your business is at the initial stages of development or considering expansion, we can help in areas such as growth advice, mentoring, market research projects, trips to business exhibitions and trade missions.
Our team is on hand to answer your everyday business questions and our lobbying and representation team can help with the more challenging business issues such as crime, planning, skills or education.
