1:1 Business Support

1:1 Business Support

After successfully supporting many Carmarthenshire businesses to identify and access dedicated 1:1 support in 2024, the team are pleased to continue this offer in 2025.

Businesses* in need of 1:1 guidance can access funded sessions in a variety of specialties, including business growth planning, financial management, marketing strategy, website development and many more.

Due to the extremely high demand for this support, businesses are now required to submit a brief application form, providing details of:

• Nature of support required
• Number of sessions/hours requested
• Name of preferred consultant (if known)
• Benefit to the business

If no preferred consultants are known, the Business Engagement Team can offer a list of providers in a particular speciality. Please note that Carmarthenshire County Council does not endorse any 1 support provider and the final decision of consultant(s) to engage with will ultimately be made by the applicant.

If successful, Carmarthenshire County Council will make payment directly to the support provider.

Applicants agree to work with the support provider and CCC to record a log of sessions provided and subsequent outcomes achieved for the business. 

All reasonable requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis and decided on at the discretion of the Economic Development Team.

To submit a request for 1:1 business support, please download the form below, and return it to: BusinessEngagement@Carmarthenshire.gov.uk

An Economic Development Officer will review your request and make contact shortly.
