You don't need to have all the answers — or even know exactly what kind of support you need. Tell us what's happening in your business and we'll help connect you with an experienced adviser or mentor whose expertise fits your priorities.
Not sure what kind of support you need? That's fine. Start with the challenge and we'll help with the rest.
Give us a few details about your business and the challenge or opportunity you're facing. One of our team will get in touch to discuss the right support for you.
By submitting your details, you are asking Cumbria Business Growth Hub to contact you about your enquiry.
Sometimes a conversation with the right person can bring clarity, uncover opportunities and turn a problem you've been wrestling with into a practical way forward.
Running a business means making decisions constantly. When you're immersed in the day-to-day, an experienced outside perspective can help you see the situation differently and focus on what matters most.
There's an opportunity ahead, but you need help turning your ambitions into a clear, achievable plan and deciding where to focus first.
A challenge is taking up time, limiting performance or stopping the business progressing, and you need a fresh perspective on how to tackle it.
You need knowledge or experience outside your own — but you're not sure who to speak to or what kind of support would make the biggest difference.
Cumbria Business Growth Hub works with an extensive network of business advisers and mentors with different professional backgrounds, sector experience and areas of expertise.
That means the conversation starts with you and your business — where you are now, what you're trying to achieve and what's getting in the way.
From there, we can help identify the adviser, mentor or route of support that best fits what you actually need.
Our adviser and mentor network brings together expertise across the areas businesses need to start, operate, improve and grow.
Business planning, strategic direction, scaling, commercial decisions and identifying new opportunities.
Financial planning, cashflow, profitability, investment and understanding routes to finance and funding.
Customers, marketing strategy, digital activity, sales, positioning and building sustainable revenue.
Leadership, management, teams, organisational development and getting the best from your people.
Technology, digital opportunities, systems, online growth and making better use of digital tools.
Processes, efficiency, productivity, performance and improving how your business works day to day.
When you're close to a business, it's easy to become absorbed by immediate problems, competing priorities and the pressure of getting things done.
The right adviser or mentor can help you step back, challenge assumptions and turn uncertainty into clearer decisions and practical action.
Just tell us what's happening in your business. We'll help with the rest.

You don't need to search through adviser profiles or work out exactly what expertise you need. Give us a little context and our team can discuss the most appropriate support with you.
Whether you need a sounding board, specialist knowledge, help developing a plan or support tackling a particular challenge, start by telling us what you need.
