Notice Title

The Liverpool City Region Business Growth Programme: Halton - Strategic Business Planning

Notice Description

Halton Borough Council's Business Support Team are seeking to recruit suitably experienced and qualified specialist contractors to deliver intensive specialist support services to promote growth amongst SMEs in the borough. The support provided will be delivered under the Business Growth Programme Phase 3 that will extend the current Liverpool City Region Integrated Business Growth Programme Phase 2 Support project through securing further European Regional Development Funding under Priority Axis 3: Enhancing the Competitiveness of SMEs. The aim of the Business Growth Programme is to provide a range of business support services at no cost to the client, designed to build both the capacity and confidence within those SMEs that are reluctant to engage with existing business support providers. This reluctance may be because of lack of awareness, or understanding, or simply because they are reluctant to pay for, or do not perceive the value of, existing commercial provision. The Project will provide additional, more intensive, business support where a participating SME lacks the capacity, expertise or resources to begin the initial roll-out of their individual Action Plan for Growth. Support will be tailored to meet the needs of each individual SME and will focus upon the fundamental elements which businesses must have in place in order to be firstly, sustainable and secondly, to grow. In summary, the provision of a no-cost service by the Business Growth Programme will provide a valuable resource which will act as a pathway and catalyst for businesses in order to enable them to establish the financial and strategic foundations for the future.
