- Growth Hub for Oxfordshire
As the Growth Hub for Oxfordshire, it is our aim to simplify the business support landscape and help individuals and businesses to easily connect.
We're here to help businesses find the support they need. We offer prompt, friendly, impartial advice and will signpost you to the right business support for you and your business by directing you to expert advice and national and local support programmes.
Coronavirus has created an unprecedented situation and will cause concern and disruption to businesses of all sizes for the foreseeable future. Clearly, moving into a further period of lockdown will be extremely difficult for all businesses and the ability to not only remain productive, but also, remain operational will be a significant challenge.
We will continue to signpost our business community to support resources, helping you to make positive decisions during this time. We have introduced a number of new programmes and funds in recent times, aimed at providing critical help to businesses.
Here's a summary of some of the support we can offer businesses through the Growth Hub:
OxLEP'S Start Up Club

Run by OxLEP's Business Advisors, we will provide webinars and content designed to support Oxfordshire businesses that are pre-start, starting-up or are in their early stages in order to help them thrive and succeed.
