- The Shropshire Business Board, which ensures business views are taken into account when developing economic policy.
- The annual Shropshire Business Summit, which is an opportunity for businesses to engage directly with Shropshire Council and other stakeholders.
- The Shropshire Business Ambassadors, which offer a strong business voice on economic challenges faced by the business community.
- Targeted support to key business sectors and networks.
- Providing general business enquiries (the team handles over 1000 enquiries from businesses each year).
- Holding Business Clinics throughout the county to encourage businesses to engage with Business Link business advisers.
- Consulting with business through events like 'Spotlight on Shropshire', to gauge opinions on economic issues.
- Advising on business finance opportunities and grants.
- Referral service to Business Link, the strategic body that is the first port of call for all business seeking advice and support.
