Introduction

The Government-backed Help to Grow Management programme is delivered in collaboration with industry experts and experienced entrepreneurs who will provide you with the knowledge, practical skills and accountability to help your business reach its full potential.

The 12-week programme costs just £750 and is 90% subsidised by the government. You can take part around your existing work commitments, and access learning through a blend of online and face-to-face sessions. It includes 50 hours of in-depth training, one-to-one business mentoring, and the opportunity to grow your business, fast.

Aimed at senior leaders in small and medium businesses, the course covers strategies for growth and innovation, leading high-performance teams, and digital adoption, as well as financial management and responsible business practices. You will hear from inspirational business leaders and learn alongside local peers, with access to a national alumni network.

The course has been designed by entrepreneurs and industry experts at world-class business schools who have come together to develop a practical management programme for senior leaders in business. Accredited by the Small Business Charter (SBC), the Help-to-Grow Management (HtGM) is delivered by our leading academics and experienced practitioners.

Taking part will build your capability in leadership, innovation, digital adoption, employee engagement, responsible business, and financial management. By the end of the programme, you will have developed and implemented a tailored business growth plan to increase productivity and grow your revenue and help take your business to the next level.

Help to Grow Management is aimed at senior leaders within small and medium-sized businesses.

Businesses must have been operating for at least one year to participate.

Eligibility:

  • Only one participant per business can join the programme across all providers. If an organisation has ten or more employees, two participants can join the programme across all providers.
  • Previous participation in SBLP will no longer be a barrier to participation in HtGM. A business that previously sent a participant in Small Business Leadership Programme (SBLP) will be able to nominate up to two people to participate in Help to Grow: Management, if they have 10+ employees, or one if they have 5-9 employees.
