The programme is available to those people establishing a business within Greater Manchester.
The support available is made up of one to one sessions with one of our employed business advisers and is available both prior to the business being established and also once the business has started trading. In addition to this we run a number of “one to many‟ sessions which are made up of Workshops, Clinics, and Networking Groups
