Business Support

How we can help you grow your tourism business

Destination Staffordshire is working with the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Growth Hub to provide business support for all types of  businesses in Staffordshire, particularly Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs), including tourism providers.

An SME business must turnover less than £25 million per year, have gross assets of less than £12.5 million, employ less than 250 (FTE) employees not including apprentices, and cannot be owned by a non-SME.

The Growth Hub offer free of charge appointments with qualified Business Advisors to discuss what options are available to support the growth of your business. They will complete a full diagnostic to determine how our partners can help you to best unlock your growth potential.
