The London Borough of Bexley secured £1.3m of funding through the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund. The fund aims to make improvements to Town Centres and High Streets whilst supporting small independent businesses across Bexley. Support for small businesses is delivered via the Talking Business brand within Bexley.

Funding for the current Talking Business programme has now come to an end, and although there is expected to be an extension of funding for 2025-26, the amount of funding available is not yet confirmed.  We hope to announce a new Talking Business programme for 2025-26 shortly, but in the meantime, we are no longer accepting applications for any business support services funded through UKSPF.  However you can express your interest in future support by enquiring.

Enquire about support for your business

A member of the Talking Business team will be in touch to advise if you can be assisted now or to confirm that your details have been added to a waiting list for a future Talking Business programme.

You are recommended to sign up to our free monthly BBE E-newsletter – which contains a wealth of updates on help and guidance for Bexley-base SMEs.
