The support from mentors and the valuable insights gained from the webinars are incredibly beneficial for any business owner. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to network with other local entrepreneurs.

For anyone who is feeling that overwhelm of starting their own business, it is essential that they look to GROWTH Hillingdon to get guidance, so that they can have a clearer understanding of what they need to focus on.

Cherlyn Baldwin-Hanooman

I love the credibility, people are noticing for example, on social media, and in person, their response is based on my updates and their perception is that I am serious about my business.

FAQs

Does it cost anything to join the programme?

No, it’s completely free! The programme is fully funded by the UKSPF fund and Hillingdon Council, so there’s no cost to you. 

The programme is open to any business, charity, or self-employed individual based in or working within Hillingdon and with fewer than 250 employees. You must not have enrolled in the previous programme.

We’ll start with a quick diagnostic meeting to tailor the programme to your needs. After that, you’ll have 3 hours of mentoring, which you can split into one 3-hour session or three 1-hour sessions over a few weeks. We’ll work around your schedule. 

Not at all! You can join as many workshops as you like and get involved as much as you want. 

No way! Whether you’re launching a business, growing your team, planning your next step, or even preparing for an exit, we’ll match you with a mentor that fits your needs. 

Support is available until 31st December 2025 or when the 90 enrolled businesses has been reached. Make sure to sign up before it’s too late!
