Support for your business
We are committed to providing you with the tools and resources to help your business thrive, while continuing to make London the best place to work and run a business.
For small business owners, we offer Grow London Local, providing both in-person and online services for small businesses across London.
For entrepreneurs and growth businesses, Grow London offers a series of services to London and international companies in high-growth sectors to help expand their businesses.
These are both delivered by London & Partners, the business growth and destination agency for London, supported by the Mayor.
All businesses can also benefit by joining the Good Work Standard (GWS) free accreditation programme, which provides employers with a set of best employment practices alongside information and resources to help achieve them.
