What Do We Do?

Depending on their individual circumstances, companies will have a range of needs for business support and direct intervention, sometimes requiring more intensive assistance during particular periods of their evolution.

South East Business Innovation and Growth provides different types of support.  For example, if you are starting a business which has the potential for fast growth, South East Business Innovation and Growth can help you with invaluable mentoring and coaching as the business finds its feet.  Impartial and experienced assistance at this stage can make a major difference to businesses that may not have all the answers themselves or the resources in place to start a high growth business.

Similarly, coaching for high growth can take place over many months and the support will focus on assisting businesses with any number of challenges such as building good planning practices and implementing structured performance coaching.

For businesses which have innovation at their core but do not necessarily know how best to harness their ideas and creativity, support is available to ‘kick start’ programmes of work and then exploit new products, processes, services and markets as part of a high growth business strategy.

For companies requiring financial support, from proof of concept or seed funding to major levels of capital investment, South East Business Innovation and Growth provides advice and contacts.

Many innovative and fast growth businesses lack the resources, information or critical mass to keep abreast of key developments and exploit market opportunities. This is why South East Business Innovation and Growth also promotes and facilitates the use of business collaboration networks which are proven to help companies become self-sufficient; opening them up to external sources of information and advice.
