A little bit about us.

We're one of the longest established and most successful business support organisations in the region - helping people to start and grow businesses right across the North East of England for over eighteen years. In that time, we've helped almost 9000 people to explore a new business idea - and 85% of the people that start a business with our support are still trading after one year. We've helped over 12,000 businesses to grow and they've created over 3,300 new jobs as a result. And we've also helped almost 5000 individuals to develop their skills to make them more effective in their role.

And whilst we're incredibly proud of those numbers, they only tell part of our story. What really makes us tick is the difference our support makes to the people and businesses we work with - over 97% of our clients are thrilled by the support we've given them - and we can see from their feedback just how much our help matters to them.
