Business Growth Clinic

For Central Bedfordshire

  • Are you a business, sole trader or social enterprise trading in Central Bedfordshire?
  • Would you like support to grow your business?
  • Would you like exclusive access to a hand-picked list of professional services companies?

If you’ve answered yes to the questions above then you’re eligible for business
support provided by Dr Wesley Randle BSc, PhD, MBA (Innovation Director, University of Bedfordshire) in partnership with Central Bedfordshire Council.

Whether you have a great new idea, a business problem or any other issue, we’ll identify your need and either deal with it ‘on the spot’ or set out a framework and plan to work through it together.

If you meet our ‘High-Growth pilot 10’ criteria we will offer you the opportunity to sign-up to a 12 month support programme where subsidised support and services will be offered from a handpicked list of providers: The Central Timebank.

Each Business Growth Clinic slot has a value of £250 but is provided free of charge through support from Central Bedfordshire Council’s business support programme.
