The Cumbria Business Growth Hub aims to provide a comprehensive support package designed to guide entrepreneurs through the dos and don’ts of being a business owner.

Some support they said is on offer includes start-up courses to cover everything new business owners need to know, specialised programmes tailored to diverse disciplines, business planning sessions, and more.

The team behind the hub will also be hosting drop-in sessions, providing an opportunity to explore and discover the range of support available.

Especially for individuals in Barrow, the Growth Hub is excited to offer an exclusive “Intro to Self-Employment” workshop, as well as dedicated three-day courses, accompanied by ongoing adviser support, aimed at promoting and enabling entrepreneurship within the community.
