The Back to Business programme, funded by BCP Council as part of their BCP Futures Campaign, helped businesses in the BCP area recover stronger from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Open to all small and medium-sized businesses trading on or before 31st March 2020, with a trading address in the BCP Council area, the programme engaged directly with more than 124 businesses, providing 54 of those businesses with more than six hours one-to-one business advisor support. 17 of those businesses were able to access further funded support aimed at addressing specific business challenges whilst a number of others were signposted to other business support programmes.
“Thank you for your time, I really benefited from some time out to look at the business from another perspective. It made me feel more positive about what we are doing well instead of concentrating on our weaknesses.” - Managing Director, Care Home Supply Specialists
