1 - 1 Mentoring

At Business Support on Demand, we understand that running a small business can be a lonely and challenging task. Many small businesses don’t have the management structure to offer support and much needed advice. At Business Support on Demand we provide help for businesses with a personal and dedicated business adviser. Your business adviser will identify solutions and guide you through our extensive network of business support services, solving your problem quickly and efficiently.

Funding Finder

Funding is a crucial element for any business to stabilise, recover or grow. It is vital for every business to search for funding opportunities that may be relevant to them and their industry.

Even during tough economic times, millions of pounds are available each year to small businesses to support them with things such as:  expansion, recruitment, staff development and management strategies to name but a few. Funding and grants are available over multiple sectors and could be the solution to your business dilemma.

HR Support

Many small business owners spend around a quarter of their time working on employee related paperwork. Whilst the paperwork is essential, it may not be the most productive use of their time. At Business Support on Demand we want to save business owner time and money, allowing them to focus on what they do best.

At Business Support on Demand, we offer specialist support for workforce development and staff retention, with access to an extensive database of policy and procedure documentation. We offer support for employers with numerous Human Resource and policy issues.

Monthly Updates

At Business Support on Demand we pride ourselves in communicating regularly with our customers. Our monthly e-newsletter allows us to communicate key information that may assist and support your business. All content is created by our business advisers with you in mind. Our e-newsletter covers topics such as Marketing, Funding Opportunities, Human Resources, Changes to legislation to name but a few.

Marketing

At Business Support on Demand we realise how difficult it can be for small businesses to see potential opportunities that may exist within your market place. We also understand that a lack of knowledge and time may restrict your market penetration.  Moreover for more established and mature businesses the challenge often switches to increasing the amount of market share.

Health and Safety

Health and Safety is an essential part of any business and must be given serious consideration. Without the correct measures, many businesses could face potential prosecutions and even convictions for breaches of health and safety regulations. With the increasing amount of personal claims for injuries, it’s essential that your business complies with current health and safety regulations. Failure to do so could result in a legal battle and loss of your reputation.
