High Growth Business Eligibility

This checklist is designed for New Anglia Growth Hub Engagement Advisers to assess whether a business is suitable for (entry level) high growth support.
During a triage call, they consider whether the business aligns with the following profile:

Core Eligibility Criteria

Turnover: Currently generating close to £200,000 or greater annually.
Recent Growth: Achieved 15%+ turnover growth over the past 18 months.
Team: Operates with a team of 3 or more, either employees or contractors, actively engaged in the business.
Ambition: Has a goal to grow by 20–30% or more over the next 2–3 years.
Vision: Can articulate their vision for growth, including any goals and/ or direction.

Growth Potential Assessment

Consider this before you start your coaching or support session.

What are your growth targets over the next 12 – 18 months?
What plans have you made to achieve these targets?
What business challenges have you faced in achieving your business growth targets?
What are your instincts on how you could overcome current challenges or exploit opportunities?
Have you raised any funding or received grants recently to help grow the business?
What support would add value to you moving forward with your plans?

I would 100% recommend New Anglia Growth Hub! I got in contact with the Growth Hub to get some serious help and advice to grow my business, and having the support of a free service has really helped me massively.
