Bespoke SME support packages
Genoa Black
Genoa Black is a business consultancy and marketing agency supporting SMEs across Scotland and internationally. For over 12 years, we have designed and delivered growth-focused programmes including Marketing Expert Support, Digital Boost, the International Selling Programme, Lanarkshire Business Gateway Business Support, and the Glasgow Business Growth Framework. To date, we have delivered 1,000+ consultancy assignments for Scottish SMEs and continue to work closely with both public-sector organisations and private clients. We operate across a wide range of sectors, including life sciences, energy, renewables, manufacturing, technology, professional services, education, hospitality, and more, giving us a detailed understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing Scottish SMEs. Over the past few years, we have seen a significant reduction in funded support available to SMEs. While provision has narrowed to largely generic educational offerings, the demand for specialised, tailored support has grown, particularly given current economic pressures and an increasingly complex political landscape. We believe this has created a clear gap in the ecosystem, one that needs flexible, expert support that can adapt to fast-growing and high-potential businesses, such as as start-ups, spin-outs and scale-ups. If you are interested in this for your organisation, please click on the link below to find out more about our bespoke packages. We would also be delighted to present our offering in more detail or develop more tailored packages aligned to your organisation’s needs.
