Support for our businesses with rising costs

With rising costs for businesses, business owners and their staff, we are working with local partners to help residents and business through this difficult time. 

See below for some of the help and support available for businesses.

We also publish information on Cost of living information.

We update businesses, using our dedicated business eNewsletter, on new support schemes and information to help your business. You can Sign up to the Business Support eNewsletter and on our Twitter feed @NFDCBizUpdates.

Help with money and debt

Citizens Advice has sources of information if your small business can't afford its energy bills, this includes where the business is based at home.

Help to make your business more efficient

There are sources of support to help businesses become more efficient and resilient.

There are also links to a grant finder service to source finance and grant funding from around the world. 

Support from business organisations and other business owners

There are a number of business membership organisations that may offer additional support to businesses and business owners and help to overcome the isolation that many owners of small businesses experience.

They may also offer opportunities to share issues with other business owners at networking events, including New Forest Business Partnership's regular online Business Support Hour.

You can find Local business events and networking on our webpage.
