Hertfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership has extended its Get Enterprising programme for a further two years to 2025, to continue to help businesses to start, grow and flourish within the county. The programme, which first launched in 2020, is delivered by trusted business support experts Wenta, which has 40 years of experience in providing high-quality support with planning, starting, re-building and growing businesses.
Get Enterprising supports Hertfordshire start-ups that have been operating for under five years. The service is free of charge and aims to stabilise early-start businesses and set them on a trajectory of growth, helping boost local job creation and economic contribution. The programme provides 1-2-1 specialist advice as well as training workshops, networking opportunities and access to finance.
Tim Burton, Business Support Services Manager at Hertfordshire LEP, said:
“Our goal is to ensure local businesses are supported to achieve their full potential at all stages of their growth journey. Hertfordshire is an entrepreneurial county and by extending the Get Enterprising programme, we are delighted to help more residents overcome the obstacles of entrepreneurship, guiding businesses in their infancy towards growth and stability.”
Wenta’s Get Enterprising Project Lead, Emma Wright said:
“I’m beyond thrilled to be able to continue this fantastic programme. Supporting Hertfordshire’s economic growth is vital, as small businesses need investment and this programme helps them to realise ambitions to become principal wealth generators for the county.
“SMEs are at the heart of the Hertfordshire economy, so it is incredibly exciting for Wenta to continue to lead on the delivery of this important programme that can lead to further opportunities. Wenta provides guidance for every stage of a business’ journey and our long-standing relationship with the Hertfordshire LEP and the Growth Hub means that we can continue to help SMEs to achieve their full potential.”
