Business support

From 7 November 2008, PRP members will be able to access business guidance from Knowledge Peers.

Knowledge Peers is a service for people who run growing businesses: it gives guidance to tackle immediate practical challenges.  PRP members can access research, peer experts, and a network of over 100 respected experts in a wide range of fields.

Knowledge Peers' research content

Knowledge Peers’ research programme captures the practical experiences of business leaders and other experts who have faced and overcome specific challenges in growing a business. The content is short video interviews and summaries (not long documents).

• Operating overseas
• Working with customers effectively
