Transforming businesses
Sometimes it's simply building confidence as an entrepreneur, other times it's transforming communications to reach more people. Through Lloyds Bank Academy we have helped businesses to thrive.
"The webinars have been a great opportunity for me to interact with other business owners, share ideas and get tangible information to help my business. One of the stand-out items was on how to price your product/service, it really helped me understand how to price my service and understand that I don’t have to be the cheapest".
Livi, Wirral Whiskers
“It has been so useful for me in terms of upskilling and giving me tips. It’s relatable business owners presenting and providing us with these invaluable ideas.”

Access to weekly lessons including live sessions helped me gain clarity and have questions answered. The programme helped me to take a look at my business innovation strategies and how we can use current digital tools to grow as well as various funding options."
