Our legacy
EnterprisePlus scheme closed after a decade of supporting chemistry SMEs in the UK, to make space for new initiatives. Buidling on the success of EnterprisePlus, we have started a number of differentiated propositions for chemistry-based businesses. See below how we work and what we offer to companies from SMEs to multinationals.
New support from the Royal Society of Chemistry
We know that there is no single type of business in the chemistry-based industries. They range from SMEs of just a few employees to corporations with thousands of staff based across the world, and they work on everything from analytical services and manufacturing to new ways to treat diseases, power our devices, and more.
To help you access the best support for yourself, your employees, and your business, we have brought all our industry focussed initiatives together under a new portal.
Resources, products and services to help SMEs thrive.

Testimonials
During the brief time the intern worked with us, we've been able to close some high profile contracts, which in turn have led to us generating repeat business. When you consider that this repeat business is with some of the largest pharma companies on the planet, this can genuinely equate to a new start-up surviving or not.
The RSC training voucher made a big difference to my ability to undertake training. As a small company, our training resources are limited, and the RSC took the strain - enabling me to get training I otherwise wouldn't be able to.
