Business Support and Skills

The Business Development team is dedicated to supporting new businesses in starting up or relocating to Breckland, as well as fostering growth for those already established in the district. Revitalizing our high streets by filling vacant spaces, driving economic growth, and equipping businesses with essential skills are key priorities in our efforts. We strive to take a proactive approach, placing the needs of businesses and their customers at the heart of our strategic decisions.

Our team offers a range of support services to you and your business, including direct assistance, help with grant applications, guidance on planning and licensing enquiries, referrals to relevant organisations for business queries or commercial property requests, as well as advice on Low Carbon Regeneration and Rural Business initiatives. Our goal is to work with you to achieve success across Breckland.

Are you a new business seeking support? Looking to expand your current operations? Want to upskill your team or hire an apprentice? We believe you'll find the information you need on our website, but we're also here for a personal discussion.

Feel free to reach out to us at businessdevelopment@breckland.gov.uk.
