Ambitious creative business owners in Essex, Kent and Sussex can now benefit from a special programme of support designed to help them prepare for future financial investment and help them to scale and grow their businesses.
Following funding from the UK Government last year, the Create South East Investment Readiness Programme is being launched to provide support for high-growth potential businesses in the creative industries through the development of the knowledge and skills needed to access investment.
Business owners can benefit from 1-2-1 expert mentoring to help address challenges, explore opportunities and develop new networks. There will also be tailored workshops covering business foundations and disciplines or sub sector - specific challenges, along with the opportunity to meet and pitch for investment as part of the national Create Growth Programme.
Successful applicants have the chance to join a curated cohort of their peers over a 9 month programme, giving them the opportunity to champion and learn from each other. The programme is free to the businesses that take part, with an estimated value of £10,000.
There will be a webinar to introduce the programme on Friday 24 February at 11am-12pm.
For anyone with an ambition to successfully grow their creative business, now is the time to apply for this free government-backed programme of support.
