Seed to Soar

Do you have a small innovative company that you’d like to grow?

Confused about whether to do that organically or seek out investment?

Not quite sure about what either of those options really mean for your company?

Then this free event, delivered by Innovate UK Business Growth as part of the North Yorkshire Business Week, is for you!

Organic growth comes from expanding your organisation’s output over time whereas investment can provide an immediate growth spurt, be that through grant, loan or investment support.

But which is more sustainable and which better suits your business needs?

Our expert speakers will talk you through the pros and cons of each, offering practical advice and myth-busting.

Making growth opportunity decisions can be difficult and there is lots of conflicting advice out there.

This event, delivered by industry insiders, experts, advisors and businesses that have been in your shoes, will help you clarify what the right approach might be for your business

The event will end with a light lunch (kindly provided by Innovate UK). This will be followed by an optional afternoon session, LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® which is being delivered by RTC North as part of the North Yorkshire Business Week (please book seperately).

It particularly champions locally owned independent businesses, encouraging people to 'buy local' to help boost the local economy and sustain our vibrant High Street and town centre. The Chamber represents businesses of all shapes and sizes, who in turn provide a wide range of products and services.
