Our Partners

The small business market in Gloucestershire is vibrant and the need for support services is great. In order to provide a truly comprehensive range of services and programmes, we work in collaboration with other organisations to deliver solutions.

We have partnered with the Start Up Donut in order to provide you with in-depth accessible expert advice on helping you to grow your business. By registering your details, you will receive a monthly e-newsletter informing you of topical issues.

We are a member of The National Enterprise Network that has over 100 members across the UK providing similar services in their counties.

For businesses seeking finance who may have been turned down by their bank, we work closely with Fredericks Foundation supporting clients in the completion of an application, Business Plan, Cash Flow forecast, Profit & Loss forecast and Balance Sheet.

As a company we are a member of The Federation of Small Businesses and Gloucestershire Chamber of Commerce. With the creation of the Gloucestershire Local Enterprise Partnership run by GFirst we support the work that they do on behalf of the small business community.
