This new fund is a perfect opportunity for a small business to benefit from the right kind of funding e.g. money that can really help both the business and individual. Although the UK is home to many a good small business, it should be home to thousands of great small businesses, thriving and growing for years to come. Great businesses need great leaders, and great leaders do not just happen. They need training, mentoring and coaching to find their vision and values.
The time is now to start getting funding and planning for growth.
