When it comes to the UK business support landscape , businesses from hair and beauty salons to those with ambitions on the scale of Elon Musk ’ s Space X can reap the benefits of modern-day business support programmes .
However , sometimes knowing where to start can be the biggest challenge , with businesses needing to step outside of themselves , ask for help and look inward , to determine what exactly they need , whether they ’ re starting up , scaling-up , innovating or looking for money such as grants .
This is where Like Us , a new Tees Valley-headquartered business support agency , designed to support businesses in navigating the landscape relating to a new post-Brexit funding regime within the UK , is preparing to come to the rescue , as the “ Avengers of modern-day business support ”.
Like Us is the new venture brought to the market from Nudl ’ s Shak Asghar and Tees Global ’ s Tracey Watson and Lynn Rutherford .
It aims to help businesses deal with the recent shifts in the funding landscape , driving change and designing and executing initiatives to set businesses up for success .
The firm , which boasts a fresher , more effective approach to business support , is proud to announce it has already had a number of contract wins across the wider UK , which will see many UK businesses reap the rewards as a result .
The contracts will see them delivering business support projects covering themes such as start-up support , innovation , supply chain , securing investment , digital adoption , leadership and management as well as a whole host of other business-related issues .
With Like Us ’ s background in the design and delivery of business support , economic development and as entrepreneurs themselves , with multiple businesses covering a variety of sectors , the new venture will also enable businesses up and down the country to access all important knowledge , experience and contacts and help breathe life into their own ventures .
