About the Programme
This is a historic programme that was funded by ERDF between 2014 and 2020. For further information about other business development opportunities please get in touch with us.
High inflation, the cost-of-living crisis and unreliable supply chains are all pushing Lancashire businesses into ‘survival mode’.
Price optimisation is most easily implemented in high inflation and volatile environments, and it is more than likely that businesses will be increasing their prices so learning how to do so confidently, efficiently and effectively couldn’t be more important.
Pricing is the third business skill; first, create a great product, second sell that product brilliantly, and third price it superbly.
This programme is fully-funded and eligible for small and medium-sized (SME) businesses based in Lancashire.

Programme Elements
This face-to-face programme will include a workshop on two separate days, purposefully designed to be short, practical and impactful and designed to tackle issues that often present barriers to business growth.
These workshops are delivered in a trusted peer-learning environment and designed to be highly interactive and create meaningful relationships to support you in moving your business forward.
"Our long-standing relationship with SMEs means we get to hear first-hand the pressing issues that are most affecting firms, and now most businesses are back operating ‘as normal’, some are facing the challenges of changing consumer demands, issues with supply and rising costs – all of which can present barriers for businesses hungry for growth.” Alex Errington, Senior Project Manager
