THE SOURCED NEWS

What the coaching offer includes

A Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade support listing published on GOV.UK on 9 November describes fully funded, one-to-one coaching for Worcestershire businesses. It offers four to ten hours over up to six months, online or in person, delivered by Oxford Innovation Advice.

The listing says applicants must have traded for at least 12 months and employ no more than four people, including sole traders. It covers several sectors, including wholesale and retail, and describes support with sales, profitability, leadership, finance and operations. No closing date appears on the listing, so check availability with the programme before relying on a place.

SELLERBUNDLE PRACTICAL ANALYSIS

SellerBundle: arrive with one decision to work through

A seller might bring an anonymised view of product margins, returns, advertising spend or dispatch costs and ask which change is most likely to improve the next quarter. You do not need customer details or passwords for a coaching session.

Before applying, confirm your trading history, worker count, location and business type meet the current criteria. This is a local Worcestershire programme, not a UK-wide entitlement.
