Who is this for?

  • This support is for owners, directors, and senior leaders of established businesses in Buckinghamshire who have a desire to grow, and a passion to develop and strengthen their skills with the aim of positioning the company, on a clear path to achieve long-term, sustainable growth. 
  • This fully funded, no cost, support is suitable for businesses with at least 2 people, who have a minimum turnover of £100,000 – but most importantly have an aspiration to grow the business. 
  • Previous recipients of Growth Programme support, either a Growth Grant or Advice,  are not able to receive further support. This Growth Advice service is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and therefore eligibility criteria apply.
