Business Evaluation

26 September, 2018

Business Evaluations are one of the services provided under the Business Management element of the Entrepreneurs’ Programme.

Independent and skilled Business Advisers undertake an impartial Business Evaluation. It is tailored to the applicant’s business to provide strategies for business growth and business improvement.

A skilled and experienced Business Adviser will:

  • come to your business premises to gather information about your business;
  • undertake further research and analyse the information off-site; and
  • prepare a tailored Business Evaluation Action Plan outlining strategies your business can take to become more competitive, improve and grow.

When you are ready to apply the strategies, the Business Adviser will coach and mentor you for up to twelve months.

You may be eligible for a Business Growth Grant to fund the strategies outlined in your Business Evaluation Action Plan. Refer to Business Growth Grants to learn more.
