Boot camp offers a boost for burgeoning businesses

-

North East businesses needing a helping hand to take them to the next step of growth can benefit from a unique pre-scale bootcamp, delivered by Sunderland business support organisati­on RTC North.

The boot camp, on March 4 and 5, is designed and delivered by experience­d Scaleup partners alongside specialist experts, to help business owners understand challenges and plan for growth, leaving them with a practical management toolkit that they can implement into their business to create immediate results.

The Scaleup North East programme, now in its second year, is focussed on fast growing companies with the potential to achieve significan­t growth by the year 2021.

The programme aims to work with 650 businesses that can demonstrat­e the required desire and potential to achieve high levels of growth in this time.

Programme Director, Jason Legget commented: “Although our focus is on fast growing scaling firms, we recognise from working with over 180 existing businesses, the importance of a growth mindset to the success of growing firms.

“Last November we invited businesses interested in our scaling community to our Scaleup Summit to help inspire them.

“We want to grow the ambition of North East businesses to scaleup and to help those who might not be ready yet for scaling but certainly see envision it for their future.

“To effectivel­y scale your company, you need to have clear strategy for growth - if you are too focussed working in your business, and don’t have the time to step out to work on your business, then this pre-scale bootcamp is for you.”

RTC North is delivering Scaleup North East in partnershi­p with North East Local Enterprise Partnershi­p, and is part funded by the European Regional Developmen­t Fund.
