  • Support is of the highest standard

Access a Nationally Recognised Benchmark for Your Industry

The SFEDI Award is the recognised National Standard for Enterprise and Business Support, and increasingly becoming the benchmark for business advice throughout the UK.

Join a Host of Organisations Already Using SFEDI

Most of the regional Business Links have already signed up to undertake accreditation for all of their front line staff and many have already begun.

Many of Business Links’ private suppliers are also beginning to take a lead in undergoing SFEDI assessment in order to differentiate themselves from other business support organisations.

Maintain Access to Key Industry Bodies

Consultants / private businesses are now being asked to undergo SFEDI Accreditation as chosen suppliers to Funding organisations and Enterprise Agencies.

The National Federation of Enterprise Agencies (NFEA) has thrown their weight behind the SFEDI accreditation of advisers and it is considered desirable for their member organisations to commit to this action.
