Supporting local business

OVER 99 per cent of businesses within South Northamptonshire are SMEs (small and medium sized). It is our goal to support the growth and development of these innovative companies.

The Economic Growth team at South Northamptonshire Council offers free and impartial business advice to local businesses which includes:

* One-to-one confidential business advice

* Introductions to appropriate partner organisations

* Assistance in locating suitable commercial premises within the district

* Support to identify and apply for local, regional and national funding

* Bespoke provision to source quality candidates for employment opportunities

Cllr Stephen Clarke, SNC portfolio holder for Growth and Regeneration, said: “We want to promote a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship that will help to grow and diversify the business base, while also helping individuals to fulfil their potential.

“By supporting SMEs in South Northants through the timely provision of business advice and support, SNC is helping to sustain growth for the future of local jobs.”

Matthew Poat, Managing Director of Racing Chocs Ltd, is one of the business owners we are helping. Matthew set up his company from his garage in Bugbrooke in 2018. Since then the company, which specialises in creating motorsport themed treats, has experienced rapid growth with clients including Pirelli, Castrol, Radical Sportscars, Mark Blundell and Formula E.

Matthew said: “I approached South Northamptonshire Council as I wanted to relocate to new premises and grow my business. The support to date has been great. They have been pro-active, welcoming and highly knowledgeable to understanding my business needs and supporting the growth of my business.”
