Business Spelthorne – Supporting Local Enterprise
Spelthorne's Economic Development Team has a dedicated website, Business Spelthorne, for entrepreneurs, start‑ups, and established companies across the borough. Designed to bring together the full range of support available to the local business community, the site offers practical guidance, resources, and opportunities to help enterprises thrive. Whether you are just starting out or looking to expand, Business Spelthorne connects you with the tools and networks you need to succeed.
At the heart of the service is tailored business support. Local companies can access advice on planning, finance, and growth strategies through the Business Growth Service, alongside mentoring programmes that match entrepreneurs with experienced professionals. These initiatives are designed to help businesses overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and build resilience in a competitive marketplace.
Business Spelthorne also champions sustainability and innovation. The site provides guidance on reducing environmental impact, adopting greener practices, and exploring funding opportunities for sustainable projects. By encouraging businesses to embrace eco‑friendly approaches, the platform helps ensure that growth goes hand‑in‑hand with responsibility.
Networking is another cornerstone of Business Spelthorne. The website promotes business events and workshops where local enterprises can connect, share experiences and collaborate. These events foster a strong sense of community, enabling businesses to build valuable partnerships and raise their profile across the borough.
Practical information is readily available too. From details on business rates, licensing, and permits to advice on land and property, health and safety, and trading regulations, Business Spelthorne simplifies the process of navigating our council services. It also highlights opportunities to work directly with the Council, including procurement and community initiatives.
Celebrating success is central to the Economic Development team mission. The annual Spelthorne Business Awards showcase the very best of local enterprise, recognising innovation, customer service and community impact. Watch out for details of the 2026 Awards programme, the last to be held as Spelthorne borough, which will open for entries in March.
