group of like-minded professionals wishing to develop.
Consultancy
Funding from the Innovation Advice and Guidance
Fund may be used to help businesses implement
new, innovative processes, procedures or systems
that result in significant 'change' and contribute towards greater
competitiveness and profitability.

systems.
Our relevant consultancy services might typically include:

As the funding clock is well and truly ticking we would suggest

needs. We will present you with a formal proposal, based on those
needs, for rapid submission to Business Link.
Significant part funding may be available to eligible SMEs in
the private sector and third sector. The eligibility criterion for
funding is managed by the North East England Investment Centre,
however we can assist with the application process when related to
the Assessment North East products and services detailed above.

likely to be awarded to eligible organisations on a 'first come,
first served' basis.
