During Covid 19 Staffordshire County Council (SCC) were successful in bidding into the Governments Community Renewal fund, for start-up business support. The scheme has been running successfully for over 18 months now. The scheme was set up originally to support start-up businesses aged 0-2 years across the county excluding Stoke on Trent. This scheme was created to complement the existing start up offer of free mentoring support and the Start-up Loan Scheme. Two offers were made available free of charge to businesses, Marketing or Accountancy.
The Scheme was extended in late 2022 to offer support to step up businesses aged 2-5 years. Since the scheme has been live, over 600 EOIs have been received. We wish to continue this support offered to businesses. We have again since extended the support offered this year to now include Human Resources (HR) advice and Legal advice.
Businesses can only access one strand of support.
