Business support

Elevate

For growing businesses with revenue, customers and a team. Professional offices across our business centres, a network of businesses around you, and support aimed at your next stage rather than your first.

Room to grow into

Elevate is for businesses past proving the idea and into building the company. You get a professional office to bring clients to, neighbours running businesses at the same stage, and a University on your doorstep.

It suits teams who have outgrown a starter office and want space, credibility and a network without taking on a city-centre lease and everything that comes with it.

What is Elevate?

Support built for the growth stage: the space to look the part, and the people and connections to help you get to the next one.

Professional offices

Larger private offices across our business centres, with meeting rooms, 24/7 access and a front door you can confidently bring clients through.

Growth support

Advice aimed at scaling problems rather than starting ones: hiring, systems, funding rounds, and finding new markets.

Careers support

Build the team you need next

You are past the point of doing everything yourself. University of Lincoln students and graduates are a low-risk way to add real capacity, test a role before you commit to it, and build a pipeline for your next permanent hire.

Employer projects

Hand a genuine business problem to a student team as part of their course. Useful when you have a project that matters but never reaches the top of the list.

The Enterprise Building

A base your clients take seriously

Somewhere you are happy to bring a client: private offices, meeting rooms you can book by the hour, and 24/7 access on the University of Lincoln campus.

You get the front-of-house and the facilities of a much larger organisation, without the lease, the fit-out or the long commitment that normally come with them.
