Practical help

Few new entrepreneurs start out with all the skills they need to run a business, or with the range of experience they need to make their business a success. Access to skills, advice and support can make the difference between success and failure.

Genuine support

Starting and running a business is never simple. Many businesses will fail - not necessarily because they are “bad businesses” but simply because they fail to really get established. Running a business can feel like a constant up-hill struggle. The problems often seem to out-weigh the successes.

Having someone to turn to who’s “been there” and knows what you’re going through can make all the difference. GreySky’s support for entrepreneurs works in several different ways - we provide direct mentoring support for entrepreneurs through different schemes (such as The Prince’s Trust). We also provide support programmes for specific enterprise development initiatives. These provide direct mentoring, support as well as online support systems for a wider range of advice.

Critical skills

Different people have different strengths. They bring different skills to their business and this individuality is a vital element of being an entrepreneur. But success in running a business does demand some basic skills. Without the ability to market and sell the products and services, and the skills to manage basic financial controls, success will always be a challenge.

But the business basics can be taught. GreySky’s approach of using IT approaches to train new entrepreneurs in critical business skills gives a clear practical approach to establishing business processes that form the foundations of successful businesses.
