Profitnet® Partnership Programme

Our highly successful formula for business engagement is now available through a partnership license and we are inviting organisations to come on board as a partner, and join the Profitnet community.

Profitnet is an affordable, highly effective engagement tool and opportunity generator, and has an impressive track record of positive impact on business performance. The programme has mature and robust operations and provides a demand led, flexible model to complement your existing business support and knowledge exchange services.

By becoming a Profitnet Partner you will benefit from our 3-day training programme and support packs, which provide your chosen facilitators with everything they need to start running Profitnet immediately.

The packs are designed as easily accessible codified manuals, providing a full guide to launching, delivering and maximising the programme. They include a complete set of programme templates and supporting documents, including hints and tips from Profitnet expert.manuals1.png

 

As relationships are fostered and grow through the programme, partners can expect to see a return on their investment in a variety of ways.

In the Republic of Ireland, Profitnet has been delivered with great success by the Donegal County Enteprise Board. The programme has supported over 160 businesses so far:

“Profitnet is the most successful business support programme the Board has ever run. It is the only model that makes harnessing innovation real and achievable for small and medium sized businesses. In the light of Ireland’s current crisis, we want to build on the benefits the programme has already delivered and expand it – helping our small and medium enterprises to put a structure on their plans for improved efficiency and innovation.”
