Up to £1000 funding helps firms increase profitability

Do you worry about how competitive your business is in the current challenging commercial environment? Do you want to develop your leadership and management techniques to achieve extraordinary business outcomes and improve the profitability and success of your organisation? But maybe you don’t really know where to start to do this ?

If so, NBSL can help you to meet these challenges. We have been running the North East’s Leadership and Management Advisory Service since 2004 and can help you access grant support of up to £1000, giving you a fantastic opportunity to access specialist help that will kick start the growth of your business.

Sylvia Grainger, Director of Programmes, has recently taken over the management of the programme under which, to date, over 5000 businesses in the North East have successfully obtained assistance. Businesses supported have seen their turnover and profitability increase so the results are really tangible.

Commenting on the programme, Sylvia said “the benefits of the funding are immense as the scheme enables businesses to receive professional coaching and mentoring to support them to grow their businesses and develop more effective processes and systems. As a result of the intervention organisations have been able to increase their profitability, employ more staff and move into new markets, none of which they would have been able to achieve without the direction given to them by the consultants that the funding has enabled them to work with.”

NBSL’s Leadership and Management team are very experienced at delivering this type of programme and our advisers will give you clear, confidential and honest advice. The application process is extremely quick and simple and so businesses have nothing to lose and everything to gain by applying.

If you can answer ‘yes’ to four simple questions then you too may be eligible for support from the North East Leadership & Management Advisory Service.

- Do you employ between 2 – 249 people?

- Is your business a private company or a social enterprise?

- Do you want your business to grow over the next 3 years?

- Are you the senior leader of your business?

Getting involved couldn’t be simpler; NBSL will work with you to ensure that your development activity matches the needs of your business – exactly, by providing you with

one to one support, funding to match your own investment in the development activity up to £1000 and assistance with measuring results and planning future strategy.

Develop yourself, develop your people and grow your business.
