At the heart of England's North West, Salford is the perfect location in which to do business.
A dynamic business base, Salford is home to almost 8,000 businesses and we've seen major employment growth with almost 117,000 people working in the city.
Salford is a working city with a large, dynamic labour market and strong employee culture. Salford is set for the second fastest rise in employment in Greater Manchester, with 20,500 jobs expected to be created in the city by 2022.
The city is a growing knowledge economy of large office based workplaces and continues to be an increasingly attractive place to do business. With 26.8% of all Salford businesses in the financial and professional services sector, this is to be a key area of growth between now and 2026.
For further information about our economy please see the 'Salford Economic Overview 2009' download below.
To continue this growth, Salford City Council's Business and Investment team is working closely with partners to support new and existing businesses and those looking to relocate into the city.
