Our high streets are powered by some of the most determined and passionate businesses in the region. From retail to hospitality and leisure, running a high street business takes resilience, creativity, and a whole lot of hard work.
We know the challenges are real – and well documented – but we also know how vital these businesses are. High streets aren’t just places to shop; they’re the heartbeat of our towns and cities, creating jobs and bringing communities together.
That’s why Solent Growth Partnership is here to support you. Whether you’re looking for advice, funding opportunities, or ways to adapt and grow, we’re committed to helping high street businesses not just survive, but thrive.
Running a high street business isn’t easy – we get it. That’s why we’re here to offer tailored support for businesses across the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, and Southampton. Our goal? To make sure you feel connected, supported, and ready to grow.
Our Business MOT programmes offer digital, HR and energy support tailored to you. No jargon – just actionable advice.
Up to 5 hours of one-to-one support with an experienced industry expert. We’ll focus on your specific challenges and help you find solutions that work for your business.
