Get practical answers drawn from real business experience that you can put to work immediately.

As a proud supporter of local businesses, South Derbyshire District Council aims to develop the local economy through our independent Business Advice Service.

  1. Start-Up
    This service gives existing businesses access to expertise to help turn business plans into reality. You won’t get solutions from a textbook - you’ll get practical answers drawn from real business experience that you can put to work immediately.
  2. Premises
    If you're looking for a new location to expand your business in South Derbyshire, search for available land and premises using our state-of-the-art commercial property search.
  3. Grow Your Business
    The East Midlands Combined County Authority Growth Hub provides business advisers who give free impartial advice to help businesses grow. This support is available to start-ups, growing businesses and companies who are ready to scale up their operations.
