It is part of the Council’s business support offer that helps local businesses to start-up, scale-up and innovate – creating sustainable and inclusive growth and a fair Cheshire West economy for our residents and businesses.

Developing Business Tapas
CWAC’s Business Growth Team is dedicated to strengthening the commercial resilience of organisations across the borough. In collaboration with TMC, over the past 2 years we have develop Business Tapas – an innovative digital knowledge hub, designed to accelerate business growth and empower local economies.
Providing tailored resources that allow for autonomous learning, content is delivered in ‘bitesize’ portions, supporting companies of all sizes and stages – from large enterprises to start-ups and not-for-profits.Within the ‘Business Tapas’ digital hub, users would experience a platform built to resemble the user interface of social media platforms. Understanding engagement best practice, our multi-departmental project team developed a framework that would extract and utilise elements from apps such as LinkedIn, TikTok, and Instagram.This platform is unprecedented amongst local authority initiatives, ensuring a lasting resource beyond external funding.
