South West Regional Development Agency

The South West RDA has transformed Business Link operations in the South West, creating northern and southern arcs, each managed by a separate Business link Operator.  
 
The Business Link Providers have developed a single business start-up offer for the region and Business Link is at the heart of a number of specialist gateways including Rural Enterprise and Creative Industries.  
 
Business Link will also be the primary access channel providing information, diagnostic and brokerage for a new social enterprise regional business support service. 
 
All businesses wanting business support should visit Business Link for information, an assessment of their support needs and advice on the best products for them. Find out more at: www.businesslink.gov.uk/southwest

Business Link is also delivering a new business resource efficiency service on behalf of the South West RDA, which administers the Defra fund for Business Resource Efficiency and Waste (BREW) in South West England.  
 
Businesses looking for any kind of environmental business support or advice can make just one phone call or email Business Link on 0845 600 9966 or email environment@businesslinksw.co.uk.
