As well as funding your growth ideas, Rosebud also includes complimentary support and advice that's tailored to your needs.
You'll get ongoing hands-on support from your designated Rosebud Account Manager including half-yearly meetings to review your growth plans. This has been valued by the businesses we have already helped.
You can access and tap into a vast array of services (subject to eligibility) through Boost Business Lancashire, which is Lancashire's business growth hub. A central point with connectivity to a range of invaluable programmes designed to stimulate and support business growth.
