Our fully-funded programme provides startups and businesses with up to 10 employees with free support to get your business moving in the right direction — whether you’re just on the start of your business journey or want to take it to the next level.
In order to be eligible for this support, you must live in or run a business in Barnsley.
Through EB, our customers — from start-ups and SMEs all the way through to large enterprise and franchises — can benefit through opportunities and engagement, gaining access to our partners wherever they’re at in their growth journey.
Starting a business isn't easy. Those first steps can be overwhelming, and it can be hard to know where to begin. Introducing Launchpad — space for you to build up your knowledge, develop your ideas and build the confidence you need to take your business forward.
Our core workshops are designed to support you through the start-up process.
Business success is happening here — with cutting-edge technologies, large-scale development and a vibrant town centre. As well as some of the best business talent of all sizes calling Barnsley ‘home’.
Size doesn’t matter. Launchpad is here to help kickstart your new business, or support existing startups, with up to 10 staff members, who’ve hit a road block, are planning for growth, or who simply want to keep learning & developing their business – we’re here to help you succeed with your start up business.
