The Royal Borough of Greenwich Start Up and Resilience Programme

A FREE SUPPORT PROGRAMME FOR THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF GREENWICH TO HELP STRENGTHEN LOCAL BUSINESSES AND IMPROVE THEIR SUSTAINABILITY

Once you register onto this free programme our business advisers will carry out an audit to assess exactly what aspects of the resileince programme will most benefit your organisation. This could involve helping you identify how to produce a business continuity plan so that you have contingencies in place or a general business plan to determine the way forward in case of a major event such as we experienced during the pandemic. The key point of the programme is to help you prepare and improve your sustainability going forward.  

How can you help me?

The Royal Borough of Greenwich Start Up and Resilience Programme is a hybrid where some support can be delivered in person although the majority will be via Zoom or Teams and our webinar training programme. 

So how does it work?

Step 1

Join The Royal Borough of Greenwich Start Up and Resilience Programme and meet your adviser
Your adviser is an expert in all aspects of business and will explain how the programme can add value to your business through contingency planning. In some instances this will be to help you better engage with your customers, manage your workflow and increase productivity, everything to strengthen your business and increase your resilience. Like all of our advisers, your business adviser is an experienced business person, which means you get real world expertise and support from someone who has ‘been there and done that too’.

Step 2

We'll take a look at your business and assess where we can best support you 
Following registration onto the programme your adviser will carry out an audit of your business to assess which aspects of it would benefit from the programme. The assessment will include a thorough audit to gain an understanding of your business and how you do things. Every aspect is explored from general business planning and strategy to how you deal with unexpected situations that may negatively impact your business. We will also review how you win business to determne if there are improvemnets that can be made.

Step 3

Apply your new planning skills
The Royal Borough of Greenwich Start Up and Resilience Programme is tailored to you which means our adviser will work with you to develop a programme that suits your needs. Your business adviser is there to support you, able to help you implement new practices and show you how to become more resilient.

It sounds good but aren’t we too small to bother with all of this?

Many small businesses think contingency planning is just for large corporates. In todays business environment you simply can’t afford to neglect it. The world has changed since the pandemic and we all do things differently now. We need to be better prepared for what lies ahead. We will explain in simple terms how your business can benefit from this programme and plug into a more productive life cycle.

The one-to-one sessions allowed me to step back from the day-to-day operation of my business and focus on building a strategy that would establish our brand in a B2B market. This support has been invaluable in helping me grow my business. When you work alone, having someone to hold you to account is very welcome. Knowing I was meeting my adviser once a month kept me focused and motivated to achieve my goals
