Enterprise4All

The High Growth Programme is a £10 million business support programme funded by the Northwest Regional Development Agency and the Northwest ERDF Programme. It offers intensive coaching and mentoring support for both new and established businesses and so aims to help them achieve their full potential.

Who Is Eligible?
The programme's support is available free of charge to two categories of business. The 'Starting a High Growth Business' programme is available to new ventures that have a realistic expectation of achieving a turnover of at least £500,000 within their first three years of trading. The 'Coaching for High Growth' programme can be accessed by established businesses with a current turnover of less than £10m but which are aiming to achieve an annual growth rate of 20%. More details about eligibility and how the programme operates can be found here.

How E4All Can Help
The programme is led by the Winning Pitch and Enterprise4All has been selected as one of the organisations chosen to deliver the support within the region. Following an initial meeting with a Winning Pitch representative and having demonstrated their eligibility, companies can then request E4All (and/or other organisations within the same delivery network) to provide free coaching and mentoring support with regard to finance, marketing or a wide range of other important business disciplines. The beneficiary company is entirely free to choose which organisation(s) it wishes to provide the assistance.

Enterprise4All is now helping a number of North West businesses through the High Growth Programme, addressing issues such as business planning, finance and developing effective marketing strategies.
