Assistance for Business in Wyre

The Council plays a proactive role in the economic development of the Borough aiming to influence and encourage growth in the community in four distinctive ways:

  • Working in Partnership
  • Enabling action and activity
  • Lobbying other public and private sector bodies
  • Providing services

In order to facilitate the formation of new business and the growth of existing businesses our Economic Development Officer provides an efficient and informed point of first contact for any enquiries; whether investors, developers, individuals seeking business start up advice or businesses looking to relocate or expand. To foster a better understanding between local businesses and the Council, we actively encourage you to let us have your views. In addition the Council have developed a Business Forum, a Rural Forum and a Business Advisors Group, which provide mechanisms for gaining views and information, assisting in the two-way flow of information and ensuring we join-up our services in a more positive way, without duplication.
