While West Sussex County Council does not provide business support services or deal with licencing directly, we do work with a number of partners who do. We can help you find the specialist resources, business networks and support you need to get your business off the ground.

Once you're up and running, there is a range of business support and networks offering on-going help, whatever stage your business is at.

The development and promotion of apprenticeship opportunities is a priority in West Sussex. We want to support employers to recruit and develop the young talent they need for business growth and success, and we want to help promote local apprenticeship opportunities for young people.
