Support for businesses
We see every day the challenges that businesses are facing and the impact that continued periods of uncertainty are having on the local economy. Cost of living pressures, supply chain disruption and labour shortages are just some of the key issues affecting businesses, their operations, and their ability to grow.
We will do all we can to support businesses through these unpredictable times.
We have created an Economic Renewal Plan and offer a wide-ranging package of support initiatives. We want to help revitalise businesses and position them to make the most of opportunities.
We have also formed a unique partnership with councils across North and Mid Essex to develop a business support and skills programme. You can read more about the North Essex Economic Board.
In addition, you can visit:
- the BEST Growth Hub, which provides businesses in Essex with a single point of access to a wide range of local, regional and national support
- Let’s Do Business Group for free debt and financial advice
- National Business Support Service for free government business advice
