Businesses across Broxtowe, including Eastwood and Kimberley, can now access free professional support through a programme funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).
The initiative, delivered by Broxtowe Borough Council, offers one-to-one advisory sessions for local business owners with a specialist from Nottinghamshire Council. The sessions are designed to help firms assess growth opportunities, identify training and funding options, and address operational challenges.
Appointments are available at Eastwood Library on 22 December and 23 February, with six bookable slots each day between 9.30am and 4.30pm.
Broxtowe is home to around 6,000 businesses, most of which are small or micro-sized enterprises employing fewer than 249 people. The council has emphasised that the support programme aims to strengthen this base by improving access to expertise and resources that encourage long-term growth and innovation.
The UKSPF funding, totalling £1.05 million for Broxtowe in 2025–26, is part of a national scheme distributed through the East Midlands Combined County Authority to back business development, skills training and local community projects.
