You’ve built your creative business, you’ve got clients and you’re busy. But perhaps you’ve reached a point where you’re not quite sure how to take things to the next level.

Sound familiar?

Our FREE Creative Business Accelerator Peer Programme is designed for ambitious Hampshire creative business owners who are ready to move forward.

It’s an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and work ON your business rather than just IN it. You also get the invaluable opportunity to connect with other creatives facing similar challenges.

Through our fully funded programme, you’ll benefit from:

Monthly peer sessions with like-minded business owners

Fresh perspectives, shared experiences and practical ideas

Accountability and motivation to keep moving forward

Expert 1:1 business mentoring

Opportunities to connect and collaborate with other Hampshire creatives

Our Incubator programme is now full, but we still have places available on our Accelerator programme.

Whether you’re looking to grow your client base, increase profitability, build a team or simply find a clearer direction, this could be exactly what you need.

Fully funded by Hampshire County Council and delivered through our Creatives’ Advice Hub.

Apply today and take the next step in your creative business journey.

Great to visit Beverley of Truffles of Lymington today and see the positive impact of New Forest District Council’s EcoBoost programme in action!

After joining the programme last year, Truffles of Lymington secured a grant that enabled them to upgrade all their lighting to energy-efficient LEDs.

The result? Savings of around £80 a month on energy bills. That's nearly £1,000 a year!

It's a fantastic example of how small changes can make a big difference to both business costs and environmental impact.

Could your business benefit too?
Through New Forest District Council's EcoBoost programme, eligible local businesses can access expert advice, practical support and grants of up to £2,000 to help reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
