City for business
If you've been in business for over one year and need specific help with growth, we offer a broad range of support.
We deliver free support to Belfast-based businesses including one-to-one mentoring and workshops in a range of areas to help you address challenges, become more resilient and grow your business.
The Green Tourism Award is a world-wide sustainable certification programme. Belfast-based tourism and hospitality businesses can apply for gold, silver or bronze accreditation for their efforts to meet best practice standards in sustainability.
We’ll reimburse the first year fees for eligible businesses that apply for a Green Tourism standard. Your business will also be eligible for discounted rates in years two and three. To get the fee funded in year one, you need to apply before 30 June 2022.
For information on how to apply, go to Green Tourism (link opens in a new window).
Complete an online form (link opens in new window) about your business support needs. We will assess your information and contact you within three working days to outline the support available to you.
Getting access to specialist mentoring, advice and workshops is instrumental when you're growing your business and networks.
