Eden Business Assist programme

Get fully-funded, one-to-one support from expert business advisors on common problem areas like finance, marketing and business plan design.

Eden Business Assist programme

Eden District Council is investing in its ‘Eden Business Assist’ scheme to help firms in the district to grow and prosper.

The programme will consist of networking events, training workshops and 1-to-1 support on a range of topics. Supporting businesses through changes arising from Brexit is a key priority of the pilot scheme.

Businesses are able to access fully-funded, one-on-one support for a range of topics including marketing, finance, innovation and strategic planning.

Whether you’re a farmer looking at diversifying, a fledgling start-up or a business that employs dozens of workers, Eden District Council wants to help you develop and grow your business within the district.

Delivered by Redkite innovation

Practical advice and support is available from the experts at Redkite innovation thanks to funding from Eden District Council.

The organisation has helped businesses across the UK to become more profitable through one-to-one skills development and coaching. The firm is also registered and accredited with the government’s Growth Accelerator Programme.

Eligibility criteria

To be eligible for fully-funded business support, your organisation must:

  • Have a turnover of less than £50m;
  • Have under 250 employees;
  • Be based within the Eden district of Cumbria OR intend to relocate/start a business in the district.

Most businesses in Eden will therefore be eligible to access free advice.

Let us know your requirements

Eden District Council and Redkite Innovations are running an online survey so that businesses can indicate what type of support they would like to see, and if there are any particular problem areas. Once themes are identified, open training sessions will be held on those topics in the coming months.

Eden businesses can access the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/8DXDHBQ – where they can share any of their training and advice requirements.
