Business Lincolnshire is here to assist and guide entrepreneurs in Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland through the practical steps of launching and developing a start-up business in 2024.
As we step into 2024, it's a great time to turn your business dreams into reality. For local entrepreneurs ready to take the leap, crafting a solid business plan, securing financial support, establishing a robust marketing strategy, and ensuring legal compliance are among the crucial steps required for success. Recognising the challenges that start-ups encounter, whether you're at the initial stages or need assistance along the way, Business Lincolnshire is available to guide start-up businesses in the region, providing essential support to help you achieve success.
Councillor Davie, Executive Councillor for Economy & Place at Lincolnshire County Council, emphasises, “2024 is a prime time for individuals to take their first steps towards starting in business. We understand the challenges of transitioning from an idea to a thriving business, and that's why Business Lincolnshire is committed to providing the necessary fully funded support and resources.”
At the core of this support system is the Business Lincolnshire Start Up Academy. This initiative offers workshops and personalised advice for those contemplating entrepreneurship or managing early-stage businesses. Led by professional Business Start-Up Advisers, the programme serves as a supportive platform, offering insights into business plans, financial forecasting, accessing finance, mentoring, coaching, and more.
Recognising the financial challenges that often accompany business initiation, the Start-Up Academy also offers practical solutions through its Funding Your Start-Up workshops. These are designed to provide valuable insights into securing funding, whether through grants, loans, or various support schemes. Reflecting on the effectiveness of the Programme, Trish Kelly, a past participant, states, "The workshop was very informative, especially on finances. Would thoroughly recommend to others at any stage of setting up a business.
Now is the time for aspiring entrepreneurs to act on their dreams. Business Lincolnshire is ready to provide the tools, support, and expertise needed to turn those dreams into successful businesses.
