How we help small organisations

Our 1:1 mentoring, Masterclasses, peer learning programmes, and local in-person events build skills, networks, and confidence in start ups, sole traders, registered businesses, charities, social enterprises, and schools.

Partner with us

We work closely with our partners to help them achieve their goals, whether they want to deliver Social Value, provide skills-based volunteering opportunities for their employees, advance government priorities, or build trust with customers and the small business community. 

Partners can target their support to priority geographies or segments such as female or disabled founders. Real-time reporting helps them track impact and progress against goals, aligned with TOMs, PPN 002, and customised measurement frameworks.
