Signposting to the business support that changed it all for you

I've been reading some threads on here this morning and a few really useful links came up that I'm going to explore. So I thought I'd start a thread that might help other entrepreneurs or businesses at any stage to gain skills, funding or grow as lots of us struggle with business training, grants, Pr etc
So who or what do you recommend?
For me
enterprisemadesimple.co.uk/ - if in the North East they do brilliant fully funded training to help start or scale your business and they do have an online training platform too
www.nudl.co.uk/ sadly not free, but they got me a £22k grant that I'm fairly sure I couldn't have gotten on my own
doesmybusinesslookbiginthis.co.uk/ Really great small group support including hot seating and masterminding for female entrepreneurs as well as training sessions each month
fsb.org.uk - saved me THOUSANDS in not having to write my own policies!

I'm underwhelmed by FSB so far - I have a newish business, approx £100k pa turnover in first year. Joined FSB but not had much value yet! We already had our own policies. Joined for the free legal support but not sure if we'll bother staying a member long-term.
