Business Services
Businesses in Salford have access to a range of business support services. Support is not only available to attract businesses to the city, but also to assist new and existing businesses to expand, grow and re-invest.
The business liaison team should be your first port of call. We don’t provide all the help directly ourselves, but we do offer you a single point through which you can access a wide range of specialist business support services. Here’s what we and our partner organisations can do for you:
- Signpost you to the best available business advice
- Direct you to training for you and your employees
- Give you information on grants and funding
- Help you to improve your business premises or find new premises
- Provide you with support to market your products or services and to export
It’s a partnership approach from start to finish. We want to be your business partner in Salford, working with you to build a secure and profitable business that creates work opportunities for local people.
Our approach is informal, helpful, friendly; our staff knowledgeable, enthusiastic and keen to help. You will find our local knowledge invaluable - and most of it free!
Email business@salford.gov.uk or telephone the business team on 0161-793 2803 to start building your business in Salford.
Specific support available to you includes:
Sites and premises searches
The city council owns and manages a number of small industrial estates in Salford, Swinton and Patricroft. The estates contain units ranging in size from 46.5 sq.m. to 599 sq.m., which can be let on flexible terms with incentives – see Business Properties to Let.
Alternatively using the MIDAS property database, sites and premises that meet your specific business needs can be identified. Staff can arrange visits to properties and put you in touch with the relevant agent. You can also fill out our online form.
