Developing packages of support
To deliver simplification in the North East, we will further develop a structured pathway for the business community to access the support they need. This starts with Business Link, the primary access channel for business support, providing an enhanced, impartial Information Diagnostic and Brokerage (IDB) service and will be underpinned by six packages of support:
- Starting Up
- Access to Finance
- Skills
- Operations and Efficiency
- Product Development
- Sales and Marketing Development
Each package of support will be developed by a specific Task and Finish Group. Each group will ensure, through consultation, that the needs of users and regional priorities are met.
