Launchpad

For Doers Not Dreamers

Launchpad is a fully funded business support programme delivered across South Yorkshire, that brings together a wide range of start-up services including workshops, events and one to one support from business advisors and coaches.  It is a fully inclusive programme designed to help ambitious entrepreneurs set up and run successful businesses and support SMEs under three years old and micro businesses of any age, to take the next step and grow their business.

STOP DREAMING AND DO IT

Since Launchpad began in April 2016 we have provided over 87,000 hours of support and helped over 8,500 people to realise their dream of running their own successful business.  There is no cost to you as the Launchpad programme is fully funded.

Launchpad has been financially supported by the European Regional Development Fund and has received £4.7m as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme form 2016 – 2023.

The Launchpad project is now part funded by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) and is receiving up to £2.5m investment through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund ( UKSPF)
