More help and advice

We work with local partnership organisations to assist people to start new businesses, but we don't employ business advisors directly. 

The Stoke and Staffordshire Business Helpline can answer a wide range of questions and will signpost you to organisations that can help you protect your ideas or support you to grow. They can also advise on a wide range of funding options and implication of regulations that may affect you.

The Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce offer a wide range of business and enterprise advice. 

Register with the council

Businesses operating from a commercial site or premises within the Staffordshire Moorlands need to comply with legislation and register with us, read here what we need from you.

We produce a monthly newsletter to help entrepreneurs keep up to date on key business news, new sources of funding and local events.

HM Revenues & Customs

The HMRC has produced a useful guide to take you through everything you need to know about tax when starting a business.
