Specialist growth service GetSet for Growth reaches impressive milestone

Spring may only just have sprung, but 2016 is already flourishing for GetSet for Growth, a fully funded specialist service that has seen over 1,000 businesses enrol into its programme since launching in Autumn 2015.

 

Offering finance, business planning and marketing workshops, along with expert 1:1 advice, GetSet supports businesses across the country helping them to overcome the barriers that hamper their growth.

With offices in the East of England, South West, West of England, West Midlands and the Solent area, GetSet had already supported well over 1,000 businesses through its preceding contracts in Cornwall and Bournemouth and through its current J.P. Morgan funded contract in East London. Having gone from strength to strength, the team is delighted to have doubled this figure in just seven months of delivering the new service.

GetSet for Growth West Midlands client, Darryl Edgar, who's been working with the team said, “I have already told people about GetSet for Growth. I have moved further forward with my business in the last 8 weeks than I had done in the previous eight years.” 

Thanks to the Regional Growth Fund, GetSet offers free specialist marketing, growth strategy and finance guidance to ambitious businesses with the potential to grow. It focuses on helping businesses overcome the two biggest barriers to growth – access to customers and access to finance. Business owners can speak with an advisor and attend free workshops, and selected businesses will be invited to receive tailored 1:1 advice and coaching to support them to achieve their growth goals.

GetSet plays an active role in helping businesses to access funding for growth too, with an impressive 98% success rate in helping clients to secure finance; totalling over £5.5 million nationally to date.

GetSet’s National Operations Director, Lucy Carmichael says, This is a fantastic achievement for GetSet for Growth! Our teams are working hard to support businesses through our unique programme that has proven its impact over the last seven months. Helping more than 1,000 UK businesses is an excellent milestone to have reached already and we are looking forward to helping many more ambitious businesses in the near future.”
