A collaboration between Better Agency and Chelmsford City Council, this program is designed to provide local businesses with invaluable support, driving growth and fostering a vibrant economic environment.

Empowering Local Businesses

This initiative has already proven to be a game-changer for hundreds of businesses, honing their skills and helping them navigate the complexities of the market. The upcoming year is set to be even more ambitious, characterized by larger events, enhanced hands-on support, and fresh opportunities for collaboration among local entrepreneurs.

A Focused Approach to Growth

In response to the growing need for practical business support, the program will center around three core elements tailored to aid businesses at various stages of their journey. Local enterprises will have the chance to attend 'How To' events, designed to tackle pressing issues and provide actionable insights through expert-led sessions.
