Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Growth Hub
What is the Growth Hub?
The first stop for local businesses, self-employed and not for profits, or even people just thinking of starting a business, to get in touch with the right support.
How does it work?
In your FREE business review, you will meet one of the Connector team face to face to have a good chat about your business. You will discuss what direction you want to go in and what your business and personal goals are, as well as any challenges you may be facing. They then research the best options and point you in the right direction for help and support to get you to where you want to be.
The Growth Hub are a friendly team of locally based experts who are independent and impartial. They work directly with you to help identify and access support in a way that is right for you.
On the Growth Hub you can also:
- Read the latest local business news
- Search for local business-related events
- Upload and share your press releases, news story, blog post or event on the website.
- Advertise with a free business listing and find local suppliers
