Business Link Vouchers

These vouchers subsidise the cost of specialist consultancy support for new and existing social enterprises.  This cost has long been a barrier for social enterprises wishing to benefit from some forms of expert advice to assist their enterprise.

 If you are starting a social enterprise

Those setting up a social enterprise will now not only be able to benefit from the two existing Business Link start up vouchers (worth a total of £200) but also a further social enterprise voucher worth £130.  In addition to this, SEEE (Social Enterprise East of England) members will be able to receive an extra £130 voucher to use towards business consultancy fees.  This will give start up social enterprises up to £460 worth of one to one business support in addition to Business Link’s free start up workshop programme.

The Business Link Information Team can tell you how to access voucher funded support, contact them on 08457 17 16 15

If you are an existing social enterprise

A Business Link Social Enterprise Adviser will be able to diagnose your support needs and, where one to one consultancy support is required, can provide you with vouchers and details of consultants who can help you. The support provided by the Business Link Adviser is free of charge.

Established social enterprises will be able to access up to 3 Business Link vouchers (worth £130 each) and SEEE members will be able to claim a further £130 voucher on top of these.  Contact the Business Link Information Team on 08457 17 16 15 for further information.

As you can see being a SEEE member entitles you to an additional voucher worth £130, making your membership fee great value for money.
