Support for SMEs
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) can benefit from the vast range of expertise we have here at Nottingham Business School. We run several projects aiming to help entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life, helping them grow and providing access to resources.
The support we’ve received from UpScaler has been invaluable in terms of helping us to form our ideas and look at our business from a different perspective. As a small but growing company, it’s sometimes hard to press pause and take a more strategic view, but the mentoring has really helped me to focus on how I can scale the business and achieve growth in a more sustainable way.
