Thanet District Council has been awarded £78,750 funding from Kent County Council to provide a Business Support Programme in the districts. The Council’s Business Engagement Officer is working alongside a local business advisor and sector specialists from Social Enterprise Kent to provide a package of practical and targeted business support until October 2023.
Activities are focused on small, medium and independent businesses with the aim of helping them to address ongoing challenges, including post-pandemic recovery and cost of living pressures. The Thanet Business Support team works with businesses to answer questions or offer signposting and guidance on relevant initiatives and grants.
Following an initial conversation, business owners will be invited to attend networking and partnering sessions, training, and where appropriate, individual one to one sessions. Consultants will be on hand with expertise in specific areas of business including finance, strategy, staffing, social media, marketing, scale up, products, supply chain and much more. To find out about free upcoming events or training opportunities, or to make a general business related enquiry, please get in touch.
