When we were young, we may have used different excuses to skip school or avoid chores—pretending to be ill or misplacing our homework to spend time with friends. But these excuses weren't about a lack of ambition or because we wanted to fail; we want to succeed.
As an adult, excuses might not be about your homework. But in the decade or so that GM Business Growth Hub has been helping Greater Manchester businesses, we’ve heard them all.
Whether “now’s not the time” or you “can do everything” yourself, ultimately, they all mean the same thing they could be hindering your success!
75% of businesses we work with are more productive because of the support we give them. And we don’t say this to brag (although we should) we just want more businesses growing and succeeding. It’s why we exist.
Your business is our business
We exist to unlock potential in businesses that want to achieve more. We give you support with funding, innovation, people, sales and sustainability at absolutely no cost. We’re funded by the UK Government and GMCA, and for every £1 they invest in us we turn into £11 for businesses like yours.
Businesses like yours are the beating heart of Greater Manchester’s economy and we’re ready to work with you to overcome any challenge and reach your milestones together.
We're a community of specialists with a passion for helping businesses, of all sizes and sectors, to realise their full potential. Our advisors know everything there is to know about starting, growing and even exiting a business.
They have extensive knowledge and insight into Greater Manchester’s foundational economy and growth sectors, from advanced manufacturing and health innovation to green technology, digital, creative and media.
So, no matter whether it’s a myth, misconception or excuse, don’t let it define the last quarter of 2024.
Instead, make a decision. It won’t cost you a fortune and a small amount of time working with us can make a huge difference. Let’s help you and Greater Manchester become more prosperous together.
Pick up the phone (0161 3593050), send us an email (BGH@growthco.uk) or fill in our enquiry form. Together we can achieve more, and we can’t wait to get started.
