Somerset Start Up & Grow

What we do

Somerset Start Up & Grow gives free, practical help to people starting or growing a business in Somerset. Funded by Somerset Council through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, you can get up to six hours with a local business advisor. We help with your plan, money, marketing, day-to-day running, new ideas and hiring. If you’re in the Somerset Council area and run a small or medium business (under 250 staff) — or you’re just getting started — you can join. Not sure if you’re eligible? Use the Council Checker or get in touch for a quick chat.
