What is a business accelerator?

Business pre-accelerators and accelerators are intensive packages of support. They involve coaching and mentorship, skills development and financial support. 

A pre-accelerator is for business opportunities that are in development or recently launched. They help you to establish your business. An accelerator is for established businesses, known as 'seed-stage'. They help you raise investment and scale up your business venture. 

If you're looking for an accelerator experience now, here are some options to explore, based in the region.

Ignite offers a 3-month business pre-accelerator for new tech companies. They also offer a 6-month business accelerator for existing tech companies. 

NatWest Accelerator offers a variety of programmes to help launch, grow or scale a business.
