Find your local Regional Business Partner
The Regional Business Partner Network consists of 15 regional business partners across the country.
The aim of the Regional Business Partner (RBP) Network is to connect you with a local team of people who are resourced and ready to help your small business improve your management capability.
Each regional partner provides access to government-funded programme and resources, but they also have something unique: they take a special pride in your region, and love to see it succeed.
When you register your business with the network, we’ll put you in touch with your local Regional Business Partner.
They have all the resources you need – including local knowledge, experts, networks, and funding – to support your business on-the-ground.
They’ll also connect you with your own personal growth advisor.
