Business support and advice

We want to make it really easy for you to do business in the Wychavon area whether you're new to the area or already located here. This is the number one priority for us and we're doing all we can to help you.

To back this priority up we have identified, at a time of financial challenges, an extra £750,000 of our own funding to invest in supporting the local economy. Worcestershire County Council has also identified a stronger economy as a priority and we’re working with them on supporting businesses.

What do you get at the moment?

  • Help to develop land, business premises and attract inward investment
  • Advice on funding opportunities
  • Business grants, commercial premises search, economic data, employment and investor reports, and economic assessments
  • Business guide and business newsletter
  • Support for local high speed broadband campaigns
  • Programme of events that attract tourists to the area
  • Support the Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership

What more are we going to do?

  • More business grants – we’re extending the grants we provide and aim to give 70 new businesses grants in the coming year. This will help stimulate the economy and attract start
  • Relationship manager – a named officer who will directly help businesses deal with the various services provided by Wychavon such as planning, business rates and land searches.
  • Planning advice – businesses will get free pre-application advice from planning officers. This advice is aimed at ensuring that businesses are fully aware of what information is required and this will help speed up decision making and reduce any unwanted surprises.    
  • A high profile local marketing campaign – communicating our offer, explaining why Wychavon is a great place to do business and using current business successes to illustrate this.

In addition we have joint project call Worcestershire Business Central for all business neeeds. Click here call 0300 123 14 40 or e-mail info@business-central.co.uk for more information.
