Start Up September is back for 2024!
The annual campaign which returns each September is back for 2024, bringing free ‘Ask the Expert’ advice sessions on all things business support, as well as events across the region to support businesses this autumn. Bringing together business support organisations from across the South East and East of England, #StartUpSeptember2024 brings a wider offering of support than ever before.
A campaign from Let’s Do Business Group, a business support organisation based in the South East of England, #StartUpSeptember is all about raising awareness of the support out there for start up and fledgling businesses – including free business support from local organisations, national programmes, plus workshops and webinars and everything in between.
Having been ran for several consecutive years and gained momentum each time, 2024 will be the first year that Let’s Do Business Group have the trademark for the campaign – and as a result, the Let’s Do Business Group Start Up September webpage is now acting as a hub for all activity and programmes in the South East and East of England. Included this year will be events directories per county in the region, including programmes from both Let’s Do Business Group and their partner organisations, such as Edeal (Sussex), the North Essex Economic Board, BEST Growth Hub, Berkshire Growth Hub, Ambitious Essex and more.
Included in the campaign is a month long programme called “Ask the Experts”, which gives owners of both new and established businesses the opportunity to reach out and get the support they need for free. Including help from the experts on anything from business planning and finance applications to marketing and skills programmes, interested business owners can fill in a short online form to tell the Let’s Do Business Group team about what they’d like support with, and can then be directed to their local and most relevant support organisation. Free consultations are available under this campaign, as well as signposting to where to gain even more help depending on business location, sector and area of support.
