Summer can pull small business owners and the self-employed in different directions, with busy work schedules, family commitments and holiday plans, but GrowBiz is here to provide support in a way that works for you:

1-1 support: When you contact GrowBiz for support, an Enterprise Facilitator will get back in touch to arrange a time to chat that suits you. Whether you’re looking for help making a funding application, creating a climate action plan, or improving business skills, simply email connect@growbiz.co.uk.

Mentoring: If you would like someone who’s ‘been there and done that’ to be a sounding board, boost your confidence, and be there for you, consider enrolling in our award-winning mentoring programme. You and your mentor can work together within both your schedules, even for just 1 hour a month.

Care and wellbeing support: As a self-employed person or business owner, your most important asset is you! GrowBiz can support you to learn to take care of and maintain your wellbeing through accredited WRAP® (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) training or 1-1 advice with an Enterprise Facilitator with experience on the topic.

Specialised support: Growbiz runs various programmes and initiatives aimed at supporting specific sectors. Young people in Perth and Kinross can apply for SEED, social enterprises can get peer support from the Perth & Kinross Social Enterprise Group, creatives can apply to join Perthshire Artisans, food and drink businesses can be part of Great Perthshire and small rural businesses of all types can get listed on REDS.

More about our mentoring programme and WRAP® can be found under the Support Services menu tab of the GrowBiz website: www.growbiz.co.uk Scroll down to the specialised support section of our homepage for more information about our other programmes and initiatives.
