Need help or advice? Email Basildon business-assist!

A new email address has been set up for businesses in need of help, advice and guidance.  By emailing business-assist@basildon.gov.uk,  companies can directly contact Basildon Renaissance Partnership (BRP) and its professional Economic Development team to get the right help, when you need it.

business-assist@basildon.gov.uk is your easy access route to specialist support from a range of sources including Basildon Renaissance's brand new Business Support Referral Network, whose 20 members, including Business Link East, Universities, Colleges and business support agencies, have all agreed to work together to provide seamless support.

Councillor Stephen Horgan, cabinet member for regeneration and green issues, says:  "This is all part of our work to build closer relationships with all of our businesses, no matter how big or small.  Companies can now directly contact us and expect a prompt reply.  We can offer general help and guidance, help starting a business, expanding your business, or relocating to or within the Basildon district. 

" We can also give information on business space and units available, and help finding the training and skills your company needs. This is just a selection of the services available.  If business are unsure about something, then email business assist and we will be able to provide help quickly."

This new service is one of a number of measures that Basildon Renaissance and its partners have been working on over the last 6 months to build better relationships with local business, to help them through the recession, and to help them thrive and succeed.
