7 STEPS TO IMPROVED PERFORMANCE - SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE FOR BUSINESSES
The Chamber of Commerce is an independent, commercial business delivering support and advice to its members and the wider business community. We recognise the importance of working in partnership with key players in the West Midlands, such as the local councils, AWM - the regional funding body for business - and Business Link. Although no longer directly associated with Business Link in the West Midlands, the Chamber has a commitment to raising awareness of the support and assistance available to our members. Therefore we would encourage all members to investigate what support might be available to you to help you develop your business and survive these pressing times.
One such way of accessing this support is by completing the following survey, designed to provide Business Link with key information about your company and allow them to diagnose the areas in which they can assist you. The survey will take no more than ten minutes to complete, you can answer as many of the questions as you like, and the financial information does not need to be included. Once completed, email the survey to helenk@hwchamber.co.uk and we will ensure that your business is contacted and encouraged to access the support that is out there for you.
