Three ways we help you grow
Learn how to run a business, one short lesson a day, or join a five-day training week with people from your area.
For start-ups and apprentices. A class starts when 10 people in your municipality ask for it. You get a certificate of attendance.
See training →Ten practical tools put your plan, money, systems, projects and suppliers in order. Each one ends in a report you can show people.
Standard: you do it yourself. Premium: we support you. Super: an apprentice does it with you.
See the ten tools →An experienced mentor works with you for a year to fix what holds you back and plan the next stage.
6 sessions over 12 months. You choose your mentor from a shortlist, and get a progress report after each stage.

Questions entrepreneurs ask
Is the training accredited?
No. The training week gives a certificate of attendance that says whether you were found competent. Self-study gives a statement of your results.
How do the quizzes work?
75% to pass, three attempts. Each attempt brings new questions.
Will a funder see my business?
Only if you agree. Your readiness report shows how ready you are. It is not a funding decision.
What happens after 12 months?
We remind you a month before. If you do not renew, your work stays safe and you can still read it.
