Running a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) is no small feat. From refining your business strategy to boosting performance, SMEs face a blend of challenges and opportunities every day. At HiThrive, we’ve been dedicated to partnering with business owners to tackle these challenges head-on, and we’re thrilled to announce that our efforts have been recognised.

Following the announcement of a new £1.5m grant fund from the North of Tyne Combined Authority to support business innovation across North Tyneside, Newcastle and Northumberland, we’re pleased to confirm that applications are now open.

The COVID-19 pandemic may not seem like the most natural time to be investing in additional resources. But the truth is that an extra pair of hands could be exactly what small and medium-sized enterprises need to navigate the pandemic and emerge stronger on the other side.

For many years, RTC North has been supporting North East businesses with grant funding.
