Overview

CJM Lumina were appointed to deliver key business support services to businesses and third-sector organisations across Dumfries & Galloway.

Brief

We were tasked with supporting businesses who needed help in any of the following areas:

  • Business plan preparation
  • Market research
  • Due diligence
  • Community engagement
  • Drafting of funding applications (private and public sector grants and loans)

Delivery

In part thanks to our experience in delivering this type of contract, we were able to slot seamlessly into Dumfries & Galloway’s business support function, delivered through Business Gateway.

We worked alongside Economic Development Advisors to fully understand the client’s needs, before contacting the client within 24 hours of discussion to gain any further insight needed. With full understanding achieved, we worked with the local authority to best allocate our technical expertise, in a way that will have the most impact in the shortest timeframe possible.

Not only does this way of working provide a smooth and efficient journey for each business, but it also runs an efficient operation for the local authority, whilst still delivering true economic impact to the region.

Results

Over the course of three years, we delivered over 75 interventions, supporting businesses and third sector organisations with business plans, due diligence, and funding applications. We also played an integral role in the allocation of almost £2m of grant and loan funding, across that same period.
