Calling all entrepreneurs in Plymouth! Whether you're thinking about starting a business, you've just launched or you're looking to grow, a new support hub is online to help you achieve all of your business goals.
Enterprise Nation and Plymouth City Council (PCC) have partnered to create the Plymouth Enterprise Hub, a place for local businesses in South West England to access a range of free business support.
Joining the hub gives you access to the following:
Expert advice: Invaluable guidance from local trusted advisers.
Access to events: From daily webinars to in-person flagship festivals.
Community: Join an active community of more than 100,000 businesses and advisers.
Personalised dashboard: Everything you need to help you plan for success.
When you sign up to the hub, you'll be prompted to work through a quick diagnostic tool. Once you've answered a brief series of questions, you'll receive a personalised business support action plan.
Alongside the hub, you may also benefit from accessing local support, such as the support provided directly by PCC or through locally procured partners, including the Heart of the South West Growth Hub.
PCC recognises that a successful and prosperous business community will bring benefits to the area, and wants to support innovation, business growth and an entrepreneurial spirit.
The council successfully applied to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and is now able to provide funds for the hub, meaning it's free to users in this financial year.
Emma Jones CBE, founder of Enterprise Nation, says:
"We know entrepreneurs who take on board support to boost their business skills grow more sustainable businesses for the longer term, as well as building important resilience.
"We also know that business owners are time-poor, so curating peer-rated support in one convenient place can make a significant difference.
"That's why we're delighted to be working with Plymouth City Council to develop the Plymouth Enterprise Hub, which is exactly that – an inclusive one-stop-shop for small businesses with free access to tools, events and advisers, allowing entrepreneurs to unlock their true potential."
