further information

Broadland businesses are regularly asked what they want the Business Support Team to do to assist them through a Business Survey mailing. The results are compiled and used to steer future decisions. 

Close links have been formed with the Planning Department and businesses can request a visit by a Planning Manager and the Business Support Manager to answer any planning/businesses related questions. 

The Aylsham Tourist Information Centre forms part of the Business Support team. They can assist with promoting tourism related businesses and finding accommodation for visitors to the area.

BCTS (Broadland Council Training Services) offers a wide range of courses for business or pleasure, ranging from Information Technology to Customer Care at competitive prices.

Is your small business growing in the Broadland area? Do you employ less than 50 staff? Would you like assistance in determining suitable training for your staff? The Training for Business Growth programme gives Broadland businesses access to a free training needs analysis and in most cases, free training.
