What one top tip would you give to a business owner embarking on a growth plan?

You are not alone. There is a wealth of accessible and extensive business experience, and support available to business owners, from professional advisors to mentoring, coaching and training programmes. Just having that external sounding board can be invaluable in helping your reach conclusions and make decisions on vital aspects of your business plan. Boost Business Lancashire provides a useful gateway for businesses to find and access available and appropriate advice and support in Lancashire.

Why is Lancashire a great place to grow a business?

Lancashire is one of the key economies in the North West, with a wide range of sectors ranging from traditional industries to high tech, digital and innovative clusters supported by a strong university presence. Global companies based in Lancashire and operating in key sectors such as automotive, aerospace and energy provide distinct supply chain opportunities for smaller businesses in the county. Lancashire businesses have the environment and linkages in which to prosper and achieve great results.

Why are you backing Boost?
