For new businesses, we can offer advice on regulatory requirements such as Food Safety and Planning; we offer help to find premises and we can put you in touch with organisations who offer advice and funding options.
For growing businesses we can also supply contacts for business loans and other funding and we can help you connect to local networks and skills.
For new investors, we offer a single point of contact to help make it easy for you to access all the local support available.
Working with partner organisations, South Ribble Borough Council also offers support to help businesses find the staff they need for development. Businesses including Waitrose and Dr Oetker have already benefited from support from the Council, working with Jobcentre Plus and local colleges, for their new developments in the borough.
