Most delivery partners can hit the basic requirements of a contract. That's a low bar.

The ones commissioners keep working with go further, in three ways.

They bring insight to the design phase, not just delivery. They treat outcome reporting as a tool for learning, not a box to tick. And they communicate like partners, not contractors.

That's the standard Like Us holds itself to.

Get in touch if that's the kind of delivery partnership you're looking to build.

Growth is rarely a straight line.

It's a good month followed by a difficult one. A great decision and then a costly one. Progress that's hard to see until you look back at where you started.

The businesses we work with don't need someone to tell them growth is possible. They need support that helps them navigate it when it gets complicated.

That's what we're here for.

We started Like Us because we believed businesses across the UK deserved support that actually made a difference.

Not advice for the sake of it. Not programmes designed around what's easy to deliver. Real, purposeful support built around what businesses genuinely need.

Every business we've worked with has reinforced that belief.

There's a version of business support that is just advice. A conversation, a recommendation, a signpost to somewhere else.

That's valuable. But it isn't what Like Us does.

What we deliver is structured. It has clear objectives, a defined journey for each participant, and a reporting framework that allows commissioners to demonstrate real impact against the investment they've made.

The difference matters. Especially when public money is involved.

If you're commissioning business support and want to understand what structured delivery actually looks like, get in touch.

Summer is here and we're not slowing down.

We're building towards more programmes. Better delivery. Deeper partnerships with the commissioners, councils, and communities who want to do this properly.

And we're building towards a version of Like Us that keeps showing up for every business that deserves better support than it's currently getting.

That's the work. Enjoy the sunshine.

From all of us at Like Us.

Before we design anything, we ask one question. What does this region actually need right now?

Not what worked in a different region on a previous contract. Not what fits neatly into a standard delivery model. What the specific economic reality of this place demands from a programme designed to serve it.

The businesses in a post-industrial town in the North East are facing different challenges to those in a university city or a rural community. A programme that doesn't start from that reality will never fully serve the businesses or communities it was funded to reach.

This is how every Like Us programme begins. If that's the kind of delivery partnership you're looking for, let's talk.

We were named a finalist in the Barclays Breaking Barriers category.

Breaking Barriers isn't just a category name. It describes what Like Us was built to do.

Barriers between available investment and the businesses that need it. Barriers between good ideas and the support to act on them. Barriers between communities and the economic growth they deserve.

Being recognised by Barclays at national level for exactly that is something we're proud of.

Commissioners and delivery partners are working towards the same outcomes. But the process looks different from each side of the table.

From where we sit, the best commissioning relationships are built on three things. Clear outcomes from the start, not discovered mid-programme. Honest dialogue when challenges arise rather than managed silence. And enough lead time to design something that actually works rather than something that technically meets the brief.

We've delivered across a wide range of commissioning environments. The ones that produce the strongest outcomes are the ones where both sides are genuinely invested in what the programme achieves, not just what the contract requires.

If you're shaping a programme and want a delivery partner's perspective early in the process, that's exactly the kind of conversation we're here for.
