Business in Focus

Business in Focus is a social enterprise that exists to support the growth of enterprise and the economy of Wales. We do this through delivery both directly to entrepreneurs and SMEs, and via business support contracts for clients including UK and Welsh governments, public sector bodies and not-for-profit organisations. When our major contracting clients entrust their business support service to us, they do so knowing we will quickly develop an in-depth understanding of how they work, what they need and when they need it. Our client focus has been acquired over 30 years, delivering robust, compliant results. We provide business owners and managers with access to finance, mentoring and business accommodation. Our commitment to equality and diversity is at the heart of our service and mission; we aim to bring out the enterprise in everyone! The Right Resources Our client-facing team is made up of dedicated professionals with up-to-date, relevant experience and knowledge of the business landscape in Wales and vital issues, such as financial planning, employing staff, sales and marketing. Our first class support teams ensure the smooth flow of information when our clients need it; that our diverse stakeholder groups understand the services we provide and how we can help achieve their objectives; and allow our tenants to carry out their business in a safe, comfortable environment. We have a wide network of contacts in public, private and third sectors, enabling us to source the right partners for every opportunity and each client we work with.
