About the project 

Start Up, Stay Up, Scale Up was a central business support programme led by us. The support model made sure businesses of every size and industry were supported to achieve their ambitions, whether they’re just starting out or looking to exponentially grow. 

This programme has now finished, but you can still receive support for your business.
