Group2Grow Entrepreneurship Programme

 

We are thrilled to invite you to join Essex County Council’s hugely popular Group2Grow Entrepreneurship Programme! Now in its fourth year, this fully-funded programme has already helped over 200 businesses to thrive, innovate and create jobs and develop new products.

 

Group2Grow includes four dynamic 2-hour peer group sessions and 3 hours of personalised 1:1 coaching – all led by an award-winning business coach (myself or one of my colleagues). You’ll be in a cohort of like-minded entrepreneurs in interactive Zoom sessions designed to equip you with the tools, strategies and expert advice to take your business to the next level.

 

The first cohort kicks off in February 2025, with additional cohorts launching throughout the year. If you’ve participated in Group2Grow before, we’d love to welcome you back for this exciting new round! Participation is free, but spaces are limited – don’t miss out!
