North of Tyne Business Growth
Do you run a business in North Tyneside, Newcastle or Northumberland?
Then you could be eligible for a new programme of specialist support designed to grow your business and help you take the next step to financial success.
What’s in it for your business?
If you’re preparing to grow your business, then this is a great opportunity for you to access fully-funded support and mentoring from the TEDCO Business Advisors.
Whether you already have an outline for growth, such as being ready to seek financial investment, or you’re hoping to boost your profit but don’t know how, then we’re here to help. Use the programme however you wish, it’s very flexible.
Here are some examples of how you can use the programme:
- preparation or review of business plans
- development of marketing strategies
- creation of financial forecasts
- support with approaching & negotiating with funders
These ideas are far from exhaustive so it’s worth having a chat with us. Register here with a few details so we can match you with the most appropriate advisor.
What’s involved?
You’ll start by chatting to your TEDCO Business Advisor. Together you’ll explore the possibilities, identify key challenges and seek opportunities. After that, you’ll take the route that you both decide is right for you and this includes one-to-one support plus invitations to specialist events.
You’ll be personally introduced to some useful contacts. Many delegates find the peer-to-peer connections incredibly useful, opening doors they had never even considered.

Why might you take time out of your working day to attend?
Perhaps best explained by one of our clients;
“I’ve worked tirelessly to make my business a success but hadn’t stopped to think about next steps. Taking time out with TEDCO and the other delegates helped me focus.
I’ve updated my business plan and know that I’m now ready to seek investment for the next stage of the business.”
Every year, hundreds of business owners take time out from their usual routine to attend the TEDCO specialist programmes. Every face to face session has reached maximum capacity with outstanding feedback.
