Croydon Enterprise is a complete package of support for local people who want to start their own business or become self-employed.  This help is in the best part free.

From practical advice for the complete beginner to workshops and training, through to funding, international trade support and helping people find the right premises for their business; we offer support every step of the way.

Thanks to the government funding of £28m over the next three years, we are able to invest in enterprise and entrepreneurship to create opportunities for local people in some of the borough’s more deprived areas.

By bringing together local business services, training providers and a range of other experts we aim to nurture a generation of home-grown entrepreneurs.  In turn, we believe these entrepreneurs will help to transform communities, generate employment and prosperity, and inspire people around them.

So whether you are thinking about enterprise for the first time, hand an idea but need help with the first steps, or already have an existing business and are looking to grow and expand; there are many practical ways we can help.
