Growing Businesses

Entrepreneurship is a key aspect of the modern economy. At Cranfield, our aim is to equip you with the knowledge, confidence and capabilities to grow your business. We have been working with ambitious owner managers for over 20 years, creating numerous success stories and many multi-millionaires. We offer programmes for businesses right across their lives, from start up to exit.

We have helped over 1,000 owner managers achieve their business and personal ambitions. Many seek to grow their business more quickly and achieve increased profits while other businesses are already growing rapidly and want to manage and control that growth. Maybe you want to develop a robust growth strategy for the next stage of development of your business. Or you want to develop an exit plan – we can help.
Whether your motivations are more personal: seeking clarification of goals and drivers or more professional, we have the experience and expertise to help you create the future you want for your business and yourself.

Below are some of the programmes we offer for small and growing businesses. We also have the Bettany Centre for Entrepreneurial Performance and Economics which carries out research on entrepreneurship in the fields of economics, finance, strategy and entrepreneurial management more broadly.


For ambitious owner managers, who have been in business for at least three years and have a turnover between £0.5m and £20m. This programme provides a unique opportunity for you to step back from the day-to-day demands of running your business and focus on developing a plan for the future.
