How
can we support you?
Give me an outline of your challenge.
If I can't help I'll tell you straight and suggest
another source. If I can help you we will talk
further to fully understand your requirements
andI will indicate the timing and cost, whether
it be just for half a day or a six-month project.The
client cost can vary from free and upwards -
depending on the work involved and the client
status eg private, public or third-sector.
And
remember I appreciate value for money in my
other activities - as a director/owner-manager
of three social enterprises- and offer significant
discounts for the smaller social enterprises.
Some of Suffolk Enterprise Business
Support services come at no cost to
you,including through the Business Link eVoucher
scheme. I do not
rely on Suffolk Enterprise Business
Support earnings as I'm already subsidised
by a comfortable company pension... I
am a practising social entrepreneur - helping
to run various business models, all with a social
aim.
You
can benefit from my own recent hands-on experience
ranging from research, business formation, business
planning and funding through to online and offline
marketing and business development.
A
typical day would be 9.30am - 4pm which allows
you some time at both ends of the day to keep
up with other business matters.A half-day start
is usual to analyse the issues and challenges
and agree an outline solution to start work
on.
Other
support to social enterprises is heavily discounted
on the usual commercial base rate for private
sector and public sector clients of £600 per
day (no VAT).Travel is charged at 40p per mile.
Suffolk Enterprise
Business Support can provide short-term,
part-time contracted help during a planning
or set up phase in lieu of taking on an employee.The
day rate for longer projects is negotiable.
The
initial consultation – to understand your issues
– is free. So contact us now – you have
nothing to lose and possibly a great deal to
gain!
