Through our Entrepreneur Programme we provide the skills you will need to plan and grow your business. We are conscious that not all SMEs are at the same stage of development so we have tailored the Entrepreneur Programme to deliver a series of workshops to pre-start, start-up and developing SMEs.

As you progress through the Entrepreneur Programme, SMEs will be equipped with proven tools and techniques, including:

• Successful entrepreneurship
• The importance of market intelligence
• Defining your strategy for the future
• What makes you unique
• Accessing finance
• Getting it right on legals and regulations
• Building leadership skills

The Entrepreneur Programme is open to all qualifying SMEs based in the North East of England.
