“ELITE is a way of getting SMEs to think more broadly about what they’re doing. SMEs don’t have the time or the resources to think about strategic growth on a daily basis.”

“Access to the right kind of finance is critical to growth and firms must be able to understand, have access to and be confident in choosing between different options. The CBI is proud to support ELITE in bringing together a vibrant network of stakeholders from all stages of the funding ladder, including corporate, investor, advisory, research and public sector partners, to support high-growth firms to fulfil their potential.”

What do they say?

“I have come away from every ELITE session with at least two or three important actions that I can really implement in our business. One fantastic thing about the programme is that it takes you out of your day to day and affords you the headspace and environment to think strategically about your business.” Justine Roberts CEO at Mumsnet
