Help and advice to grow your business

The Stoke and Staffordshire Business Helpline (opens new window) can answer a wide range of questions and will signpost you to organisations that can help you expand your workforce or employ graduates. They can also advise on a wide range of funding options and implication of new regulations that may affect you as your businesses grows or diversifies.

Planning and building regulations

If you are considering re-developing your existing site or have seen a new site that you would like to make changes to, you'll need planning advice. We can usually give you an opinion as to whether you are likely to get approval for your project and will try to resolve any problems at an early stage. See more on our Planning and building regulations for business pages.

The Local Plan identifies suitable locations for business growth, even if these aren't currently being advertised, . 

Financing your growth
