Covid Recovery Business Support Programme
Business Action Planning is being funded by the East Durham Area Action Partnership (AAP) and will help self-employed individuals and small business owners to redesign their business plans.
The aim of the programme is to work with 30 businesses from the East Durham area who have been affected by the pandemic.
Each business who signs up will be eligible for 12 hours of one to one and group support, which will help them identify how their business could diversify to tap into new markets and opportunities.
The one to one sessions will help each business think about how their business could evolve and talk through potential new routes to market.
The group sessions will bring together like-minded businesses who can share ideas and experiences and explore how collaborative working could benefit them.The tailored plans which will be developed with each of the 30 businesses who take part in the programme will look at marketing, business development, digitisation and operations.
This programme is perfect for anyone whose business has been affected the coronavirus pandemic. What’s happened over the past couple of years has been tough for everyone, and as the support organisation for the East Durham area we want to do everything we can to help our business owners back on the path to growth and success
