The government has launched two new business support schemes to help small and medium-sized businesses in England to improve their leadership skills and enable learning with peers. The Small Business Leadership Programme is a fully-funded 10-week programme delivered by a consortium of leading university business schools, to help develop strategic leadership skills, and the confidence to make informed decisions that boost business performance. Peer Networks is a peer-to-peer networking programme bringing together diverse cohorts of business leaders to collaboratively work through common business issues. These are delivered locally through local Growth Hubs across England.
