Somerset Business Resources

Into Somerset will provide potential investors in Somerset with the resources to assist relocation to the county.

These pages will become the one-stop portal for information to help your business grow.

The full report of the research project that Into Somerset undertook is available for download as is the more concise PowerPoint presentation to businesses. This information will help investors to understand what the Somerset business community values in the county as a place to do business.

Somerset County Council provides a large amount of information to investors, including the latest Economic Digest 2009 which is updated twice a year.

All five District Councils support businesses in their area through knowledgeable, proactive and skilled Economic Development teams.

The South West Regional Development Agency offers advice and support to indigenous businesses and foreign investors and it is also responsible for monitoring the Business Link service in Somerset.

Finding suitable premises for your business is one of the hardest tasks facing an entrepreneur, but Somerset provides a host of property options supported by a professional and efficient network of agents.

Travel is quick and convenient, as our Business Parks and Industrial Estates are in key locations off five M5 junctions and the A303 serving commercial opportunities across South Somerset and the Mendips.

In addition, Somerset has a network of unique, high-quality rural business developments, often in the grounds of historic farms, such as Bowdens Farm, Hambridge; Upton Bridge, Long Sutton; Eaglewood, Dillington – and many more, allowing the discerning small entrepreneur to work in a creative atmosphere.

Business networks are strong in Somerset, so you can always find help and support in making the most of commercial opportunities. The Somerset Chamber of Commerce would be pleased to introduce you to the most appropriate network to meet your requirements and it can be contacted on 01823 444924 or through www.somerset-chamber.co.uk
