The Academy provides businesses in the borough of Bury with invaluable coaching, mentoring and a support network through a funded structured training programme consisting of 18 modules delivered over the academic year by successful business owners and industry experts.
New for the class of 2023 was the addition of Patrons, 10 Bury business owners who are aligned with Made in Bury’s vision of helping tomorrows businesses today. These business owners’ help mentor the Academy members and sit on a loan panel which will soon be offering interest free loans to qualifying businesses. This is funded by the Made in Bury Weekly £2,000 Draw.
Debi and Phil Fellone from Made in Bury Ltd explain why they decided to set up the Business Academy.
“Every year, thousands of new businesses are formed here in the UK and national statistics tell us that 6 out of 10 of those businesses fail in their early years. The Business Academy was created in 2016 to help new business owners here in Bury, learn and grow, broadening their skills to help future-proof their businesses, since its formation we have helped 144 Businesses.”
