Ten years since its launch, Business Wales has supported more than 390,000 entrepreneurs and businesses, assisted the creation of over 19,000 new start-ups and directly helped to create nearly 47,000 jobs in the Welsh economy.
Business Wales is the Welsh Government’s flagship bilingual business support service for Welsh micro-businesses and SMEs including social enterprises, and aspiring entrepreneurs of all ages. Business Wales is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government.
It provides dedicated support for those people wishing to start, sustain or grow their business through a range of face to face, telephone and online provision.
It also plays an important part in helping the Welsh Government build a stronger, fairer, greener economy, and is:
- A vital part of Welsh Government’s Young Person’s Guarantee helping young people to develop their business ideas and providing support to help them set up their own businesses or go self-employed.
- Offering specialist advice to support employee buy outs, with fully funded and bespoke help available through the Business Wales and Social Business Wales. The Welsh Government is committed to providing greater support to ensure Wales-based companies remain in Welsh hands.
- Supporting businesses to decarbonise by offering a wide range of advice and support on green policies, practices and resource efficiency which include the Green Ambition Campaign and Green Growth Pledge.
