VentureNavigator launches free online service for businesses and entrepreneurs
New service, funded by the UK Government, aims to improve the success rate of British businesses.
VentureNavigator (www.venturenavigator.co.uk) announces the launch of a new free online service for small businesses, start-ups and entrepreneurs. The service, funded by the UK Government, has one aim: to improve the success rate of UK businesses.
VentureNavigator, created by an expert consortium led by the University of Essex, provides an impartial assessment of businesses and access to a comprehensive library of resources. VentureNavigator also supports an online community for businesses and entrepreneurs to network and share knowledge.
Professor Colin Riordan, Vice Chancellor of the University of Essex said:
“This important service makes a wealth of previously inaccessible resources held within the UK’s Universities available to business start-ups and entrepreneurs. VentureNavigator will play an essential role in improving support for small and new businesses and in building the UK’s long-term productivity performance”
Doug Richard, Chairman of Library House, whose company is responsible for developing VentureNavigator, commented:
“This is an invaluable service because it doesn’t focus on a simple or narrow interpretation of what a business needs to succeed. It’s able to examine and assist with a broad range of requirements including managerial, financial, cultural and administrative factors, all of which a business needs to develop, grow and ultimately thrive.”
