About

Plymouth City Council awarded a contract to Iridescent Ideas CIC for the provision of free business advice to new start and existing social enterprises.

The advice is customised to meet individual client needs and covers areas such as financial management, marketing, organisational health checks, strategic planning, growth and new product/service development, and community share issues for co-operatives.

The programme aims to increase entrepreneurship, particularly in areas with low levels of enterprise activity and amongst under-represented groups, by developing entrepreneurial skills and attitudes with a focus on increasing the number of social enterprises and cooperatives.

The contract value is £24,550.
