In today’s economic climate, opportunities to set up and grow businesses or enterprises can be difficult to spot. The University of Northampton set up Inspire2Enterprise to help private, public and third sector organisations start, grow or work with social enterprises.

Our network of business experts exists to encourage and facilitate partnership working between those that manage social enterprises and other organisations.

Specialist business advice

We can bring together accountancy firms, HR specialists and consultants looking to add social value, with social enterprises looking for help with financial planning, recruitment or bidding, for example. These partnerships are essential in ensuring social enterprises are investment-ready before applying for funding, and in helping organisations deliver social value as part of their business strategy.

Our expert business advisers offer telephone support, one-to-one sessions to share HR, legal and social impact measurement advice and ongoing consultancy. Whatever level of support you require, find out more on this website or give our team a call.

By working together, we can identify any obstacles your organisation faces, find growth opportunities and plan for a sustainable future.
