## About Exemplas

Exemplas is a specialist UK organisation with over 30 years of experience delivering
funded business support programmes on behalf of government bodies. We work as a trusted
delivery partner for national and regional commissioners, including Combined Authorities,
Mayoral Authorities, Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), Growth Hubs, and government
departments including DBT and DSIT.

We do not fund businesses directly. We deliver, manage, and report on publicly funded
business support programmes on behalf of the commissioning bodies that fund them.

Our clients are government commissioners — economic development officers, programme
managers, and policy leads responsible for deploying regional and national funding to
support SME growth, productivity, and innovation.
