Account management for social enterprises and communities

Ongoing support from a dedicated HIE account manager

How we work with social businesses and community organisations

Community organisations and social businesses in our region are at the heart of developing strong and sustainable communities. Many are providing vital products and services in our most rural areas, and local people are creating and delivering strategic projects with wide reaching social and economic impacts.

Through our account management process, we're currently working with around 200 of these social enterprises and community-led client groups on a wide range of projects. 

As a HIE client you'll have a dedicated staff contact who can provide advice and access to our range of support, including initiatives to help you develop the best conditions for success. 

With local authorities and other public agencies, we support communities to develop and implement plans for local growth. We can help with:

  • Business support and development - innovation, entrepreneurship, digital development, and strategy
  • Investment readiness
  • Asset acquisition and maximising community assets
  • Governance health check, skills and training
  • Signposting to support agencies 

Contact us to find out how we can help you.
