The Get Started & Grow and Grow scheme helps businesses up to five years old and based in Staffordshire (not including Stoke-on-Trent)
with fully-funded back office support from local experts.
The support is bespoke to what you need, but could include:
- helping you with the processes to recruit and manage your workforce
- legal advice to take the risk out of setting-up and expanding or drafting new contracts
- fully developed financial plans, accountancy support and funding submissions
Applicants can either be a brand-new business or one that has been trading for less than five years and be located in Staffordshire.
Get started and Grow has been a huge success for Staffordshire County Council, with over 150 businesses benefiting from free Marketing, Accountancy, Legal and HR advice and support.
Due to this success they are expanding the scheme to include social media and digital marketing support.
The social media and digital marketing support package is flexible to the unique needs of your business and can involve a 1-2-1 half-day digital marketing strategy workshop with a digital marketing expert, followed by up to six two hour 1-2-1 coaching sessions which will help you deliver the digital marketing plan that evolves from your strategy workshop.
