Businesses invited to join growth programme
Wolverhampton Council’s business development team is looking for 25 city-based companies to join the final phase of its fully-funded European business growth support project AIM.
It is just one of the opportunities the Black Country Growth Hub will be showcasing to local businesses at the Small Business, Big Impact event on Monday, September 24.
It forms part of the city’s annual business programme and will take place at the Black Country Growth Hub’s HQ at the Science Park, Glaisher Drive,, between 12 noon and 2pm. To book a place visit www.investwolverhampton.com
By the end of 2018 the city council will have teamed up with 150 small businesses through the AIM programme to help identify and provide access to a bespoke business support package to help them grow.
Companies work alongside their own business growth specialist to tailor the support to ensure the business receives all the grants, specific guidance, marketing support and connections that lead to the expansion and sustainability of the business.
The programme is popular among businesses who are looking to grow, investigate new market places, move premises, take on staff or buy plant and equipment.
It has already attracted companies ranging from digital and media to advanced manufacturers supplying the automotive, rail and aerospace sectors.
The programme has also provided companies access to European Regional Development Fund's Black Country Transformational GOLD grants, set up to support a variety of growth projects.
