Business Support Unlocked

We are pleased to be delivering the Business Support Unlocked programme for North Somerset Council. Business Support Unlocked has received £100,000 from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Business Support Unlocked is a free at the point of access, pre-start, early growth, and business resilience programme. It provides North Somerset businesses with a package of flexible and accessible support, helping overcome the challenges and issues that can affect your business.

We have a support programme that includes:

  • A Starting in Business Course that offers foundational insights into starting your own business. The course provides information and guidance to help deal with key issues for new businesses.
  • 1-2-1 Advice Sessions – delivering support either in person, by phone or online. Face to face appointments happen at a variety of locations across the region. So keep an eye on our calendar for a session near you.
  • We are also holding a series of workshops that will focus on information on the key priorities for your business – again, to find the latest events, please visit our – events calendar.
  • Additionally, we have access to the latest market intelligence information through COBRA and CBI databases.

So, if you would like to find out more about the available services or upcoming workshops, or you would like to book a 1-2-1 session with an advisor, please contact us.

This project is part-funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

The UK Shared Prosperity Fund aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK investing in communities and place, supporting local business, and people and skills. For more information, visit https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-shared-prosperity-fund-prospectus
