We provide specialist support and the tools to help your local business thrive and grow. If you want to grow your business, we provide expert support to fit around your busy schedule to help you achieve growth, gain more revenue and customers, and create employment.
You should expect to dedicate one ‘2 hour slots’ a week for the 3-month duration of the programme, as well as to be keen to do homework outside of this to scale up your business! The course time slots vary by location based on cohort availability but we intend workshops will be held on a Wednesday 10am-12pm. You also have the opportunity to attend optional clinics on occasional Thursdays from 10am-12pm where can come together with your cohort and the wider Allia Community to share ideas, collaborate with other founders and dedicate time to work on your own business.
