SWANSEA COUNCIL
Swansea Council has a dedicated business team that offers a range of advice and support for your business.
Whether you are starting your business up or looking to expand and grow, improve your sustainability or your digital presence, we can help.
Recruitment and Training
Finding a skilled workforce to service your business can be challenging when starting up or relocating. We help to make this process easier by opening doors and making connections with local FE colleges and universities as well as employability services such as Pathways to Work.
We can also help you to access sector-specific training and development and apprenticeships.
Financial Support
We work with a range of partners to provide access to financial support, whether that’s in securing grants and loans or accessing local and regional financial support schemes.
Our business team will connect you with knowledgable partners to provide advice and support, regardless of the size or sector of your business.
Start-up Support
Our start-up support can take the headache out of launching a new business. We want to see you succeed and have put together a package of support that includes membership of the Business Swansea Start-Up Enterprise Club which connects start-ups with business experts and provides monthly in person and online support.
We also help you to access finance and acquire suitable premises for your business. We have strong links with Business Wales and the Prince’s Trust who offer their own bespoke support to business start-ups.
We also offer invaluable resources like our Free Power Hour workshops covering a variety of essential topics as well as the Start-up Enterprise Club, which is a dedicated space for new businesses to connect and thrive.
