Business Support in Surrey
From 1 April, support services for the business community in Woking will be provided by Surrey County Council, which works in partnership with a host of membership and non-profit organisations.
In the next few days, Business Surrey's Gateway to Growth website will go live. In addition to the programmes listed on the website, Surrey will be holding a number of roadshows across the county to raise awareness about the support on offer to the business community.
Some of the most active groups, bodies and associations that work to support the business community in the Woking area include Surrey Chambers of Commerce, Woking Chamber, the Woking Asian Business Forum, and the Federation of Small Businesses.
There is also free advice for businesses available from the Government, including financial help and its dedicated Business Support Helpline.
