Empowering Local Growth: How NBSL's £3000 Funding Fuels Business Success in the North East

We are thrilled to announce that NBSL, one of the longest established and most successful business support organisations in the North East of England, has successfully raised £3,000 in new funding. With over eighteen years of empowering aspiring entrepreneurs and established business owners alike, this latest investment underscores our commitment to continuous growth and regional economic development. Since our inception, we have proudly supported nearly 9,000 individuals in exploring innovative business ideas, with an impressive success rate of 85% of those who have started a business with our help still trading after one year. In addition, we have guided over 12,000 businesses on their growth journeys, leading to the creation of more than 3,300 new jobs that not only contribute to the local economy but also help to create sustainable livelihoods within our communities. This fresh infusion of funds will be dedicated to expanding our range of support services and educational initiatives designed to build on our proven track record. By investing in enhanced training sessions, tailored mentoring programs, and innovative workshops, we aim to further equip entrepreneurs and existing business owners with the skills necessary for adapting in an ever-evolving market. We believe that empowering individuals to refine their skills—from both a managerial and operational perspective—will invariably benefit the wider community. As we move forward, this funding will enable us to increase the reach and impact of our initiatives, ensuring that more people can transform their business aspirations into long-term success stories. We are excited about the future and remain committed to nurturing a thriving business environment in the North East.
