## Notice

GC Business Growth Hub is introducing a support programme specifically targeted at the creative sector. Funded by DCMS, this will complement its existing sector specific programme offerings of: * Greater Connected - a cohort programme that helps DCT businesses stabilise, adapt and grow. It is a 2 day programme spread over 2 weeks. * Investment Readiness Cohort Programme - a cohort programme for businesses who are investment ready, focusing on equity introduction, equity sources, valuation and pitching. This programme, Create Growth, will take creative industry businesses through a two-day cohort programme to support their business growth. Alongside the two-day cohort programme, cohort members will also have the opportunity to access two further coaching days, reflecting on the learnings from the programme in a more focused environment, within smaller groups. Cohort members will then graduate onto an Investment Readiness programme (delivered in-house by GC Business Growth Hub)
