Our aim is to help you access the best available advice and information needed to succeed in starting a business. We have a number of professional business advisers who work on our behalf to provide expert help to get your business off to a head start.
Under our contract with Merton Council, we can offer a flexible package. For start ups this includes support on their journey from pre-start, start up, through the critical first 12 months of trading and beyond. For established businesses this includes support for their journey towards growth, innovation and diversification.
The service will reflect the needs of a diverse business base, including those wanting to or who are operating as self-employed and as home-based businesses.
Free business advice!
We also run a dedicated helpline service under the Merton Means Business programme. The helpline is there to provide you and your business with free advice and information.
So if you are looking for information on setting up in business, fact sheets on business development or anything business related, please call us now on - 020 8619 0700 - our service is completely free of charge.

When you contact us for help or advice for your business, you can access our comprehensive 'business library' service which comprises hundreds of fact sheets on just about every business related subject.
It doesn't matter what stage your business is at, what your turnover is or how many people you employ - you don't even have to have started your business yet - we guarantee that we will be able to give you the information you need or point you to the right place to get it.

This toolkit is designed for stakeholders, representative bodies and others who can help us communicate the changes to businesses.
It provides a collection of materials which you can use in your communications to tell businesses and others of the changes and where to go for information and advice. Further material will be added in the future as more announcements are made.
