Additional Business Support

The City Council works with a broad network of partners to help your business succeed.

These specialists can help you further in developing your business. 

Gloucester BID

The Gloucester Business Improvement District (BID) is a business-led body, financially supported by over 600 City Centre businesses. Covering the boundary of Gloucester’s City Centre, it has been established to address issues of local security, improvements to the physical environment, events for the public to generate visitor visits, networking, and representation with public bodies.

If you are a new business to Gloucester City Centre, we would recommend you speak directly with their team for free local media exposure opportunities, and access to exclusive networking events.

Federation of Small Business (FSB)

The FSB are recognised as the national representative for small business, offering their members a voice in central government. Members can access a broad range of advice, including finance, employment law, business funding, and networking in their extensive community.

We would recommend contacting their South West team directly.  

These are only a few of the partners we can help with making introductions. If you're looking to connect in with someone, or don't know who you need to speak to, our team can signpost you in the right direction.
