A new tool has been launched which will help businesses in Rochdale find the right support and funding.
The GC Business Growth Hub’s Business Support and Funding Finder will help businesses in the borough navigate the complex and varied landscape of support and funding.
Commissioned by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority the online tool allows businesses to search and filter results for all publicly-funded support relevant to them.
Janine Smith, Director of Business Growth at the Hub, said: “It’s a great accomplishment to bring all of these services and resources together in one place to create a unique resource for businesses of all shapes and sizes.
“There are 230 publicly funded programmes across Greater Manchester, which can make it difficult for businesses to understand what is right for them.
“This tool brings together all the support in one place and is incredibly accessible for time-poor businesses – answer a few simple questions online and it will identify the services that are available to you.”
Nick Shepherd, Business Development Manager at the Hub, added: “I’m genuinely excited about the positive impact the Business Support and Funding Finder will have.
“By answering a handful of basic questions, businesses will be directed to the most comprehensive package of support available, quickly and effectively.
The Business Support and Funding Finder is available at www.businesssupportfinder.com.
