EPISODE 5: FUNDING LIFELINE - HOW AND WHERE TO REACH OUT
In a particularly challenging year for many businesses, access to guidance and support has been vital. There is help out there, but it’s not always easy to know where to look.
​
The latest episode of the Essex Business Podcast aims to unravel the maze and demystify the procedures standing in the way of receiving what could be lifeblood to a business's future. Advisers who specialise in grant-funding offer practical advice on the many routes and opportunities open to businesses and we hear from a company who has benefited from some of the advice on offer.
