Free business support
Are you interested in free, impartial advice that is bespoke to your circumstances and needs? We aim to help your enterprise develop, grow and become more sustainable.
Our funding from the European Regional Development Fund allows us to provide businesses with up to 12 hours of free support. Find out if you are eligible, and then sign up here.
What support can we offer?
Depending on your needs, we can offer your business a combination of the following types of expertise:
Technical Consultancy
Technical consultancy to suit your business. This could include the latest information on biorenewables, bio-based materials or low carbon technologies. The consultancy will be delivered to you by an InCrops specialist or via our expert partner organisations.
Accessing funding
We can help your business to access funding by informing you about relevant funding opportunities, helping you to write funding applications and by linking you to potential project partners, in either commercial or academic organisations.
Market Assessment
Market assessment to help you discover the commercial potential for a material or technology. We will provide you with information on key market players and how your business could access new opportunities.
Business development
Our consultants bring a wealth of business development expertise, whatever your stage. We can offer you confidential discussion about your business idea and discuss a potential route for implementation. Alternatively, our support could include advice on starting a new business, protecting intellectual property, environmental credentials for marketing purposes, the development of new product lines or strategic partnerships to sustain and grow your business.
Following an initial meeting, we then assign your business a dedicated InCrops expert, to develop and deliver a tailored programme of support. For examples of our free business support, please see our brochure ‘Supporting Businesses’.
