They can offer a range of advice to provide you with tailored guidance for your organisation. Their expertise include, but are not limited to, cash flow management, navigating the funds available, governance and planning, and social enterprise management.

If you have had start-up advice from one of our Just Enterprise Advisors, Brian, Anna, or Colin, in the past please pop them an email to let them know how you are getting on and how they can help you.

If you have not had start-up advice through Just Enterprise, or can’t remember who it was you spoke to, then please register online and we can connect you with one of our experts who are giving 1:1 tailored meetings.

We want to hear from you!

As an organisation we are currently looking to help you as best we can; now and in the future. We have put together a very short survey to get an idea of how we can best support you. You can fill out the survey here.

We will use the answers of this survey to help us build on the support already available and ensure we are doing all we can to support social enterprises during this time.
