Accreditation.

UKBI's Inspire Accreditation process allows stakeholders and practitioners alike to monitor and develop their business incubation environments and their impact. Using established international best practice 'standards', Inspire not only provides a 'benchmark' for your business incubation environment but it also sets out a development plan to take you to the next level. In addition, it proves to funders and other stakeholders and potential clients that you offer the best added value services possible. please contact Faye Busby for more details.
