The Business Group Salford was formed in 1999 by local business owners and managers to create a much needed business network and community voice. The service provided to new, emerging and established businesses has long been acknowledged as an important part of the City of Salford’s business support infrastructure.
The Business Group’s members include sole traders, limited companies, partnerships, charities, community organisations, co-operatives, social enterprises, public sector partners, further and higher education institutions and PLCs with turnovers ranging from less than £2k a year to those exceeding £0.5bn.
Membership is free. To join our network of almost 1000 local businesses simply email info@thebusinessgroup.org or sign-up here.
We specialise in co-creating enterprise and employability support with marginalised entrepreneurs and community leaders in some of the most deprived areas in Europe. We provide tailored support to local residents, businesses, social enterprises and community groups alongside workshops, networking events and funding competitions.
We founded the Salford Business Awards and continue to be a managing partner alongside the University of Salford and Salford City Council. Along with Salford CVS and social enterprises from across the city we lead Salford’s Social Enterprise Place activity.
