Description

The Growth Hub, by providing ambitious Gloucestershire SMEs with fully funded independent and impartial business support, aim to empower these businesses to grow the Gloucestershire economy and to increase the number of jobs in the county. A powerful motivator for business owners to take action is a comprehension of how their performance compares with that of their peers; the Company Performance Benchmark Index will provide that capability.

The intended use of the Company Performance Benchmark Index is to allow Gloucestershire Growth Hub website users to assess their company's financial performance relative to that of others in their sector across the county, region and nationally. The ideal scenario is that each Growth Hub website user will perform a benchmark assessment prior to or at the start of their early engagement with the Growth Hub, and then again at the end of their engagement so as to be able to identify the impact of the Growth Hub's independent and impartial business support service. Additionally, as the Growth Hub is required by their funding bodies to ask client businesses for their financial information, this feature would offer businesses something in return for sharing this information with us, as well as offering an improvement to current experience of asking for this information.
