Through GrowMyBiz I have received some good advice and encouragement, but mainly through meeting and connecting with people.
StartMyBiz helped us secure an interest free loan from the Kent County Council after we showed our presentation to the chamber of commerce. This helped us gain the funding to start our business.
I have made quite a few connections which have led to more business opportunities, thanks to the team at GrowMyBiz.
My involvement with StartMyBiz and GrowMyBiz has given me opportunities to network with many local companies and organisations, which has resulted in new business. The 121 business support sessions have been very supportive and informative.
We offer various sponsorship opportunities which can help to promote your business in the local community.
Three packages are available: Think-it, Start-it and Grow-it, as well as the opportunity to sponsor our events and competitions.
We are always on the lookout for new mentors to share their experience, skills and advice with entrepreneurs looking to start up or grow their businesses.
Let us know if you’re an experienced business person interested in becoming a mentor.
