Grow your existing business

Are you self-employed, freelancing, or running a small business with up to 5 employees? Ready to take things to the next level—whether that’s expanding into new markets, boosting your income, or growing your team?

Our support can help you gain clarity, build the right skills, and tackle challenges in areas like marketing, finance, wellbeing, and business planning.

We'll begin with an initial business diagnostic to discover what's working well for you and your business and identify where your business could benefit from support. Following this, we'll tailor your EnterprisingYou program to your specific requirements, and you'll be paired with a dedicated Business Advisor – Enterprise Specialist, who will work with you throughout your journey.

The program is designed to help you nurture or fast forward your business’ development, and you'll have regular meetings with your Business Advisor along the way.

Features:

One-to-One Business Advisor
Fast forward your progress by speaking in confidence and with openness to our experienced team of Business Advisors. Together, we can review and identify what options are available to you whatever challenges you face from business planning, finance and cashflow or marketing.

Personal Finance Specialist
Confidential one-to-one support to help you look at your personal finance needs including budgeting, credit score, pensions and benefits.

Health and Wellbeing Support
Benefit from access to our Health and Wellbeing portal.

We appreciate that being self-employed can come with a lot of uncertainty, and times have been especially challenging recently.

What our clients say

It’s been a privilege to be able to learn and be guided by my Business Advisor. EnterprisingYou has made a huge difference to the speed of growth and ultimately the success of my business.
Nicola Hill, Self-employed Maths Tutor

I have to say, I originally signed up for the EnterprisingYou programme with a heavy pinch of doubt. I am now extremely pleased that I ignored that doubt as the training and support have already paid dividends.
Steve Sweeney, Salford Double Glazing

My Business Advisor supported me through every aspect of the early days of my business. I felt I always had someone to turn to. My business would not be where it is today without her. Thank you very much for all the support.
Alison Gilbert, Self-employed Proofreader
