A better way to support local businesses

At Profit Impact, we help you empower your local SMEs to grow stronger, smarter, and more sustainably. There is no greenwashing, no overwhelm, just the right support at the right time.

We work directly with your SME business community to:

Deliver one-to-one and group coaching for sustainable, profitable growth

Guide businesses through realistic sustainability roadmaps

Demystify carbon, reporting, Public Sector, B Corp, and Net Zero journeys.

Help them reduce costs, unlock opportunities, and attract talent.

Build momentum through practical, supported action.

It all starts with Know Your Number, our smart, simple diagnostic tool to help any business (or council) understand where they are on their sustainability journey.

Our Inclusive Economic Growth Strategy outlines our ambition to support businesses to future-proof themselves so they can continue to thrive in Barnsley.

We must also protect our borough for future generations and this partnership with Profit Impact will provide SMEs with the tools and clear guidance to help them grow and embed sustainability into their operations at their own pace and in a way which benefits the business, our residents and the environment, showing that economic growth and sustainability can go hand-in-hand.

Together, we can create jobs, reduce emissions, and build a legacy Barnsley can be proud of as we work towards making our borough net zero carbon by 2045, in line with our Sustainable Barnsley ambitions."

Councillor Robin Franklin, Cabinet spokesperson for Regeneration and Culture, Enterprising Barnsley.

“We’ve already got our own business support programmes — why bring in an external partner?”

Because we do what most programmes don’t.

We’re not another tick-box initiative or off-the-shelf webinar. Plus, the data shows that sustainable businesses grow faster. Profit Impact offers hands-on coaching and diagnostics that help businesses cut through the noise, build tailored sustainability plans, and take action. We complement your existing efforts by delivering measurable, behaviour-changing support grounded in commercial thinking. Think of us as the sustainability and growth partner your in-house team would love to have.

“What if businesses see this as extra work, or aren’t interested in sustainability?”

That’s exactly the gap we fill.

We meet business owners where they are - often overwhelmed or unsure how to start and guide them step-by-step toward seeing sustainability as a commercial advantage. Our approach focuses on what matters most to SMEs: saving time, saving money, attracting talent, and growing well. We’ve worked with over 45 businesses to reduce 45,000+ tonnes of carbon while boosting confidence, morale, and revenues along the way.

“How do we justify the investment or prove it’s delivering value?”

We’ve built the business case for you.

Sustainability is no longer a ‘nice to have’ - it's a strategic lever for economic growth, regulatory readiness, and community well-being. Every business we work with starts with Know Your Number, giving you baseline data and measurable impact. We track results across carbon, cost savings, culture, and commercial performance and feed these insights back to you so you can report success with confidence.
