About Us
'If we can, you can' is all about creating the connections that will allow entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs across the North East to move to the next level.
Whether you're already running a business, developing a business idea or about to turn an idea into reality, it's an opportunity to share experiences with a growing online community of like-minded business people.
'If we can, you can' is inspired by and built on the principles that underpin the well-respected Entrepreneurs' Forum – the best way to fast-track your progress in business is to talk to and learn from someone who has already been through the experience.
'If we can, you can' is encouraging a spirit of entrepreneurship in the North East – inspiring people to set up businesses, grow them faster, have vision, grasp opportunities, and recognise that people of all background have become successful entrepreneurs.
New developments to the site make it easier to find guidance on specific topics from the huge bank of user-generated content and make connection with entrepreneurs who are happy to answer specific questions to help others overcome the challenges they face as they strive for growth and success.
It's not all about the senior entrepreneurs in the region imparting their wisdom (we've created the new Pick Our Brains section of the site to capture their thoughts on the questions that drive the business agenda). If you think you haven't got anything valuable to contribute, we urge you to think again.
Even if you're only 6 months down the line, the fresh (and sometimes raw) experiences you can share with those just starting out could make the difference between success and failure.
'If we can, you can' has been inspired by the Entrepreneurs' Forum with the support of One NorthEast, working closely with partners in the business support network.
